Felted, but not out

I had to dig last night after being felted for the first time in a few weeks. I took roughly two big hands to get to that point. But, in a cash game you gotta dig to get back so i did and eked out a nice little profit by chopping for a while and then one big hand win. here they are

hand 1 pre dig

Hero (5d 6d) dealt in bb. The flop is taken 4 ways (Kd 7d 8c). Great flop for me i believe i just call a 2/3 pot bet (heads up now). Turn (8d) I know lead out 1/2 pot and get called. River is a black 9 and i lead again for half pot and i get raised to triple that bet. I say out loud "u probably have 8 9" i called and was shown 89.

hand 2 pre dig

Dealt (8c 8s) I call a preflop raise from LAG Villain on the button. Flop (Ks, 9s, 5s). Villain c bets and i just call because of his reputation for bluffing. Turn is (7d) . Villain c bets again and i get the feeling he has no spade so i call because i picked up another 4 outs and i am steaming from hand 1 pre dig. River is a red 2 or 3. Villain bets small again and at this point pot is too big for me to fold, he shows (Ac Kc). Goodbye first buy in.

Post dig

I settled in and started to play well. I chopped for a while and then i started to get some big hands for a while. Here is the big hand of the night that i might have played too hard.

Hero (As Ah) re raise lag villain to 8bb after he makes it 3, Hero is called in two spots. (one player is basically all in) Flop (Qh Ad 9c). Hero bets out a little less than 1/2 pot and is raised to triple that amount by villain Lag. Hero just calls hoping to get disguise strength. Turn is (10s) now putting up a possible straight and a gutshot for any Jack or King. Hero doesn't want a K or J to roll off and kill his hand so he bets 2/3 pot, villain mucks after a min saying he folded an Ace. Shortstack all in had qq for set over set. If i knew that villain in this hand had an ace i would have min raised back on flop, but its easy to say now. I was happy to win this hand to catapult my self back into the green for the night.
