Couple tough hands this session, 5 tabling 100NL and 3 tabling 50NL about 1700 hands.
Hand 1:
Villian is a pretty solid player have around 200 hands on him. He runs at 17/3 and I haven't seen him do anything crazy. Standard fold? I should've just folding the flop calling was stupid.

Villian in this hand is a muppet. Do you call his flop push here expecting his range to be pretty wide or can you save the 10$?

Hand 4:
Rough night with overpairs not really sure about this one. What do you reraise to preflop? Do you push? What is your plan on the flop when are going into it 3-way with a pretty big pot? I'm not really worrying about the shortstack I have the other villian with the full stack tagged as a muppet though.

I've went through a little stretch where I refuse to fold overpairs after being heavily disciplined with them for awhile. Stuff like this just gets pretty frustrating after while. Any input is appreciated.
