You played those hands fine...btw.
edit: my bad run included 3 set-over-sets and one where I had a set-over another set where he drew quads on the turn (all in on flop).
My bad run ended with 4 quads in one nite

Kh5h on the button. I saw one limper. I clicked the fold button. Then, for no apparent reason, I unclicked the fold button, thinking this hand might have some value on the button with a few limpers. Sure enough, there were 3 limpers total and i limped. I was seemingly rewarded when the flop was
Q62 all hearts. I flopped the second nut flush. The pot is 12$. The SB goes all-in for 35$, into a 12$ pot. Fold, fold, and the *LP player thinks and cold calls. I am thinking he has a lower flush, or is trapping with an ace high flush, however unlikely. Maybe he is just playing a set softly. I am not worried about the SB, who is already all-in. The action is to me, I re-raise the *LP player to 100$, and he pushes immediately for 160$ total. I call. Turn doesn't pair the board but the river is a 4th heart. SB shows bollocks and the *LP player had Ah9c.
Ok. NP. Taken beats before. Move on. Not really fluttered. Until this hand at a different table, 20 mins later...
88 in the BB. 5 or 6 limpers and I check. Flop 983, two clubs. I check. 15$ pot so far, EP players bets 5$, 2 callers, and I raise to 35$. EP player pushes all in, everyone else folds. I say "222 I hope?" and call. turn is a club and the river is innocuous. We showdown and he has KcJc for a sucked out flush.
Sorry if this is low content but I need some consolement. I've been a winning player at this limit for some time but recently things have gone a little bit sour. Perhaps in the past 2 or 3 weeks I've broke even or lost 1 or 2 bb/100...So if anyone wants to contribute some wise poker maxims that might cheer me up it'd be much appreciated.
*edit*
yeah I guess this is just a bad beat story.. not much strategy perspective here right? I went all in with the best hand and lost. Or is there any way I could have perhaps more nimbly tip-toed around these hands and not gotten stacked?
