Sunday online poker

I decided to go back to PokerStars today since all the 2/4 tables on Eurolinx were full. I bought $250 and sat at a 2/4 NL 6 handed table. Here's how that went - I only played one hand. Went all-in being an 88% favorite and got sucked out by a beginner who called $149 on the turn with nothing but Ace high. What did he think I had? He had nothing, but got rewarded:

So I went to Eurolinx... and I sat with $250 at a 2/4 NL table again. I got a few good hands, but picked up a lot of pots with agressive play... my new style!

I was up to over $900... then I got dealt KQs. I raised to $12, got re-raised to $24 by the BB. Flop JQ3, he bets $12 I call. Turn K. He bets $24, I call. River 3. He checks. Now, my instincts told me when he min-raised that he had a very good hand... could be JJ, QQ, KK or AA. I should have checked when he checked. Instead, I went and bet $80, he raised all in another $77. I had no choice but to call at this point, and he showed JJ for a full house. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! I was beat by all of the four hands I thought he might have. I lost $217 on that hand, instead of just losing $60... dumb move!

I then lost another hand when I limped in on the button with 57s, flop 4 6 8. I check, he bets $8. I call. Turn 4. He bets $20, I call. River blank, he bets $44. I'm pretty sure I'm beat, but I call. He shows 44 for four-of-a-kind.

So I left the table with $600 - up $350 for the session, and bringing my Eurolinx account to just under $2k.
