OK, so I've been running bad lately. Really bad. Really REALLY bad. I've been playing SH LHE
and just getting crushed. I know I don't play perfectly, but I don't see where I'm making the
huge mistakes to get the beating I've been getting. So here is a series of hands from a session
that has been typical as of late. Rather than posting a hand or two where I get sucked out
on or made an obvious mistake, I thought the series would be more interesting to find the
leaks in my game. So after I get everyone's opinion on which hands were played correctly
and which one were OK, I will compare that to actual results, and that way I'll have an idea
if this is just bad luck or I am a total donkey.

Sorry for the length, but it's been slow in this forum anyway.

OK, that's enough, after that it was just bleed away my few remaining dollars

If you are willing to

- eliminate the hands that you believe are standard
- convert the rest so they are easier to read

Then I will comment on every hand you wish me to.
