Back in business

I had a good run on Friday night and Saturday morning. My bankroll is currently just above $500 having been in the $350s a week ago. Here are a bunch of semi-interesting single draw hands:

Hand 1
I don't often break a 987 but it's not an easy hand to play out of position. My play worked out nicely here.

Hand 2
Another 987 but this time in position. I thought twice before calling this bet; if he'd bet $8 or $9 I think I'd have folded.

Hands 3 & 4
Short-handed, I hit two highly improbable hands in 4½ minutes, only to run into two equally improbable better hands.

Hand 5
Oh dear. I'm having a bad session here and it doesn't get any better when I dump the wrong card. I then hit the ultimate bluff card - a third eight - and I take down the pot.

Hand 6
Only my fourth hand at the table. If I was Jon I'd have folded instead of shoving, although I would have folded numerous better hands to his shove. Some people call big all-ins with draws; I'm not one of those people.

Hand 7
I posted this one on a forum. The consensus was that I should have just called the raise, mainly to balance my just-calling range but also because my eight flush outs seriously hurt me. I posted about a similar hand here (see hand 5); that time I chose a different (wrong?) option but also got away with it.
