Personally, I think an argument can be made either way. 

Hand #1 was against a TAG who was seemingly going out of his way to outplay me in every pot.  Looking back, it seems like a spew to me.

Hand #2 might seem like a fold pre-flop type of hand, but I had a specific read on the SB and he was 3 betting like a monkey.  I had position and a hand that plays well in multi-way pots.  I guess I could have folded that river though.  Again, the villain was very aggressive.  Probably a spew though.

Hand #3 was obvious that the villain had an overpair when he called the flop.  He just happened to have the overpair that nailed the turn.  I had his range as 88-QQ, AQs+.  99 would/should have raised a drawy flop like that.  So really the only thing in his range that beat me was TT.  I chalk that up to a cool deck.  Your thoughts?
