The Irony of poker

So I am up for the month and feeling pretty good. Confidence has been restored! Then these hands happen.

A funny little hand. I played this hand because I was gettting about 3 to 1 preflop, I closed the betting preflop and I figured I would get all his chips if I hit. Who knew?

Another great hand. I dont fold KK preflop in a SNG. The worst hand wins but I still make a profit.
