I'm going to keep posting my significant losing hands on here for a while, at least until my fortunes turn back around. I did used to be a consistent (if modest) winning player on here.

I think these hands were just unlucky, but what do people think about my play?

dont see any mistakes here. Just unlucky, remember getting called by these type hands is where a large part of our profit comes from when we are running well.

If beats start to affect your game, take a break or drop down a level.

Shoving turn > Shoving river IMO.

I agree. Your opponents raise on the turn is your cue to get the money in when you ought to be the favourite. He might call your shove if he's playing a draw at this point but won't if it misses on the river. So we lose value from those two flush-draws by only calling the raise. He'd probably call a shove with a King either here or on the river, unless the river is a really scary card. I don't see how you could ever fold the turn or river, nor do I think it could possibly be +ev in the long-term. Cooler... again... You're so lucky.
