The Other Side of the Coin - Good Beats?

OK, we all get bad beats. I suffered with losing in the Open 2 nights running with a made Ace flush which lost to a rivered straight flush, so this is the other side of the coin.
Last night I came second in the Primo. I feel I played fairly well, but did ride my luck on the way. So point me to this thread next time someone rivers a full house to beat my ace flush.
1. This hand was fairly early on. I had lost quite a few chips and was getting desperate. The all-in pre-flop is quite loose, but at this pouint it's double-up or watch TV. In fairness, the other guy is shorter stacked than I am, and I'm hoping that widens his range. He though long and hard about the call (don't know why).
2. This one came when I needed a few chips and I felt that top pair, despite the obvious flush / straight board might well be good. When he turned over the flush, I thought I was down to a chip and a chair.
3. This came near to the cash bubble. I knew it would be touch and go as to whether I got there, so figured a double-up would see me safe.
When I flopped top pair with a decent kicker, it seemed a no-brainer. I magine my feelings when the cards were turned over.
I felt quite bad about this one, and my only consolation is that daddy got a couple of double-ups afterwards and made the cash.
So, some loose play, but (I hope) understandable play. My soul is now cleansed.
