Had To Force Myself To Not Throw The Mouse

I know nobody cares about these, but here are three poker hands that went ridiculously bad for me today.

I'm pretty sure that's my opponent in the first two hands.

I can see shoving the turn, but the flop made no sense. I figured he might've had a set, but I had such a strong hand I was willing to call what little of his stack was left.

A few hands later vs the same player...

Once again, he stacks off light and hits. Granted, I only put him AI here because of what I had seen him do on the previous hand.

Later on I made all of my losses back and had a profit. Until this hand...

What makes this worse is the fact that I have a history of this player. I even have a note that says "if he 3bets it's AA, if he 4bets it's AA" yet I still decided to put him all in with KK. Duh.
