Okay, so the same guy beat me twice when I had great cards/hands, but I can't really fault him for playing the way he did. He just happened to catch his flush or his straight when he was ramming and jamming. According to PT, he's actually a sLA-A on the tighter end. I just happened to be unlucky enough to have him hit his draw when I was ahead on the flop and turn. Ouch.
Recovered some big bets with cowboys twice, missed a flush, prematurely folded two suited broadway cards, and got out of there down slightly over a big bet. Rough stuff.
