Hand 4: Jam it. Do you think someone is folding a small flush draw here? No way, that guy is paying out the nose, drawing totally dead to you. Yes, your implied odds are great if that small flush draw guy comes along. But he is not folding anyway, so get the actual odds right now and raise. It is bad to not be putting in as many bets as you can on this flop, really there is no other way to put it.
Hand 7: It is bad because you broke form. Is it OK to go on a diet and then eat a bunch of chocolate at the end of it because you did a good job until the last bit? Is it OK to play tight the whole session and then play loose the last orbit because you played tight the whole time? It is a self-control thing. Have pride in the fact that you are totally unable to be moved while playing. That guy can say or do whatever he wants and it just rolls off of you. You are above him and he cannot touch you. When you say something you show everybody that he got to you, and you lose. You win by just treating him like he is an object and not even worth thinking about. If you just sit there while the other guy jaws off and show nothing, he will shut up and feel like a fool.

I don't know about running bad. When you have dropped 200 or 300 BB, then you are running bad. 25 bets is nothing.
