Some of my posts lately have been on the subject of my good hands in $2 NL FR getting flattened by calls by the villain that were questionable, and some that were downright crappy.
I'm not talking about hands like P-As getting killed by P-Ks on the FLop or another street, P-Ks are GOOD hands and that crap will happen to anyone. I'm talking about hands where players called pre-flop raises with absolute garbage, or questionable at best.
I've taken a little flak for this, and people (several people, actually) have said it should be easy to profit big from players like this, and while I would should agree, I can't. Maybe it's just a really long stretch of bad luck, maybe it's a major leak in my game I don't see this stuff coming.
I've decided to start a thread showing some of these hands, and with fairness, I'll post some that I won with. I won't cross-post hands from my Journal thread where I solicit analysis. While the intention of this thread isn't asking for analysis, if you see a leak, please feel free to say so.
So to start, here's one that happened this morning.

SB wins 90 BB
Here's one that I won. Now, a small Suited A is OK to limp with (in my opinion) with as many bbs as players in the pot, but to shove with a raise and a caller behind you is a bit much. What is the 5 or 2 on the Flop was a Q, we would have chopped and effectively lost money because of rake.
