11 BB Downswing? Post it in here! (Designated No Content Thread)

[Poet MP]

After the worst online poker night of my life last night, and it following on this evening (suckout after suckout after suckout - AK with TPTK on the flop with villian catching a Q on the river to make his pocket KQo good was just one of a number of 3 outers I succumbed to), these hands happened at the same time (I was four tabling $1/2). They made up for over half my losses from the last 36 hours in 2 minutes.

Hand no. 1:

Yes, I feared the flush in both pots - the way things have gone, I was actually expecting it. I was more than pleasantly surprised. And the flop bet in the 2nd hand was probably too aggressive, but it was playing slightly behind hand no. 1 and I was feeling frisky.
