I've played a few hands over the last 2 days and they haven't been fun.
I am not too bothered as I seem to getting it in good only to be crushed to ridiculous suckouts or really terrible shoves pre.
I will start with this first one which is against an aggro 48/31 type player. When the showdown arrives I am totally shocked by his holding.

Couldn't fade the river......
Hand 2 here is probably one where I deserve my stacking as for some reason I didn't raise his mid position open. The villain is a 52/14 monkey that will go broke pretty soon.

I am a 64% favourite here pre but that was no good.
Hand 3 is a little less interesting but shows that fish will stack off with any pair pre.
