More UB NL $10
Ridiculous how I'm running at this. I jump into a table and on the second hand get AA. One player raises, I reraise and take it down. Very next hand:
Ultimate Bet - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

I bet the turn because he called quick on the flop so I figured a flush draw was likely and it was unlikely I'd get raised if he did have a K. On the river I was hoping he did have a K, but didn't happen. Oh well.
And the very next hand after that:

This is where second level thinking comes into play. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't go all-in for 110bbs with just one pair. Also, keep in mind that I'm in my 4th hand of the session, and have no read on this player anyway. But, I don't need one. All I know is that I have raised for the 3rd straight hand and did not go to showdown yet. So I can probably assume this player would naturally think I'm a maniac trying to run over the table. In that spot "top top" is much than he would expect me to have in this spot. So I raised him and instacalled his shove. My hand was good.
Ended up actually busting two more players at the table. Very next orbit:

I've been doing a lot more reraising preflop in these games than normal. I've been careful about it though, some players have really low PFR% and AF% so it would be a mistake to come over the top of them. But this guy was loose enough that I could do it. With a call in between I like squeezing there. It's nice when your hand hits, and obviously in a reraised pot getting it in with "top top" is certainly fine.
Then there's this hand:

Don't really know about this one. Not sure how I could've gotten away from it. When he minraised on the flop, I sensed he was strong. So I decided to let one roll off instead of 3-betting the flop. Then he potted the turn and I went into the tank. I thought about this one. I really didn't think he would play 2-pair this strong. I thought the only hand I could realistically beat was 77. But as my made up rule goes, "Always put your opponent on the worst possible hand in his range" or simply "Find a hand that you can beat". I pushed, not liking it, sure enough he put the rest of it in, but the 4 came on the river to save my ass.
I felt a little bad, but then again this guy called off his money on a 5
