do not be ashamed, for you have fought well and have died an honorable death
fold river both hands
Flop bet in hand 2 way too large
No cash player here but why betting so large in hand 2? specially blocking both of flush draw and back door flush draw, i think this is 33B allways and maybe some checks knowing you are against a good LAG player , you can still call bets and your hand will play alone, the other two hands are just poker 😀
I take it “hero takes the walk of shame” is the end of the story? Very sorry to hear anyway.

The flop bet was because of the LAG player and I wanted to deny him odds, as I knew his range included various combos that hit that board. Also, I considered it possible for someone to call anyway.
