Not well played by me. I pushed too hard w/less than a quality hand. I was correct the other player didn't have a flush but they had an Ace with a better kicker than mine.

Hand 3. I'm BB w/Ad 4d. Seven players at table. Action folds to the HJ who open raises 2 BB (80), action folds to me and I call. Flop As 2s 7s. I pair my Ace but there is a possible flush out there. I bet 100 into the 180 pot and the HJ raises to 200. I call. Turn 5h. I have a gutshot straight draw. I check HJ bets 200 into the 580 pot. I call. This would have been a good time fold and get away my hand that is pretty iffy and most likely beat at some level. River 8c. I still only have a pair of A's. I decide to take a last stab and bet 480 into the 980 pot. HJ calls and shows Ah 10d.

Hand 4. I'm SB w/10s Jh and 560 chips left. I've decided I'm going all-in and hope for the best. UTG+1 open raises 2 BB (80), CO raises to 190, CO & BTN fold, I go all-in, BB folds, UTG+1 & HJ call. Flop 7d 3s 2c. UTG+1 bets 1235 to put HJ all-in and HJ folds. UTG+1 shows pocket 8's (8s 8c), I have two good overcards. Turn 4s. River 9s. I'm dead and outta there.
