Limit player turns to the darkside

[Schwatt]

I have played about 75k hands of limit this month and have been running horribley the last few days. So I say to myself "I'll try some no-limt, it has lower variance, and I'll have a bigger advantage."

I played about 25 hands:

I didn't play these that badly did I?

I hate full ring (there's a forum for it though)

Hand #1 is fine. Lots of overpairs or draws will put all their money in here.

Hand #2 - Sitting shortstacked sucks. I would reraise preflop. I am not too happy with MP2 calling, but what're you going to do? Drawy board, under-represented your hand preflop, you have half a buyin and one PSB, when MP2 called you were basically committed.
