Couple hands from yesterday - Tell me if I did anything wrong, or did these donks just get lucky?

Hand 1

MP is a total calling station - he pays off pot sized bets on all streets and min-raises preflop like every hand. I have about $3000, he has $2200.

Get [As] [Qs] in LP. EP limps, MP min-raises, I raise to 120. All fold to MP, he calls.

Flop [Qh] [8c] [4h] Pot = $290.

He bets $100, I raise to $300, he calls.

Turn [Qh] [8c] [4h] [4s] Pot = $990

He checks, I bet $600, MP calls.

River [Qh] [8c] [4h] [4s] [5d] Pot = $2190

MP bets $500, Hero calls.

MP shows [Qs] [5s]. And yes, he would have paid off my all-in without the 5. FHDJ*#$&(*#$&@#&

Hand 2

Hero get [Kh] [Ks] in BB. I have $4000, LP has $2100. MP raises to $70, LP calls. MP cold called a raise in EP earlier along with 3 others. I had AA on the button and made it 500. He then goes all-in when it gets back to him. He had 33 and I scooped that one. No read on LP, yet. I raise to $350. MP folds, LP calls.

Flop [Js] [Jc] [3c] Pot = $800

I bet $700, he calls.

Turn [Js] [Jc] [3c] [Ah] Pot = $2200.

I check, he goes all-in for $1050, I say - I put $350 in preflop with KK and he only has $2100 - I am not folding - and I call. River is irrelevant and he shows [Ac] [9c] and scoops. *#$&@($&*(@#&$&

Hand 3

I raise to $100 in EP with KK. MP raises to $300, leaving him with $1200. I call. Flop = 222. I check, he bets $600, I move in. He calls. Turn A, river 4. He shows AK and scoops. $#^@&$@#*$

Hand 4

I raise to $80 in EP with 56. 4 callers.

Flop comes 347, rainbow. I bet $400, LP raises to $1200, I move in. Turn 3, river K. He shows his obvious set of 44 and scoops.

I cant win hands against shortstacks either - My AK loses to QTs for $550 - $140 in preflop. My KK loses to AA for $400 (well, I deserved to lose that one, but when does the shortstack get AA after I re-raised someone else preflop!). My AA loses to 99 for $450.

Un-freak-in real. Somehow I only manage to lose $1000 during this session of horrendous beats. If I win all these I am up $15,000. I am going to go and puke.

And yes, this is a bad-beat post, but I don't really care right now. Sorry, Ice.

Wow those are some bad suckouts!!

The only possible thing I can think of to say is does this guy have the typical CS pattern of call...call...call...call and then a raise when he finally hits his hand? Or is he tricky and will just raise when he senses weakness?

Not sure that would help you though because in most of your hands, you are pretty much not getting away from them and there was no way to get him to fold anyway.

Long-term you'll clean up on this guy.

Hand 1 and 2 are actually very foldable. Calling stations betting big is always a good reason to fold. They only bet when they hit. I think on your better day you would have def. folded hand #2.

the others are obviously just bad beats you can't get away from.
