Please tell me that I didn't play these ones horribly wrong...

Granted I'm not familiar with the Stars .05/.10 tables, but...

Hand 1: I'd reraise the turn and see if he caps. If he does, check-call the river, if not, lead out the river.

Hand 2: Looks fine.

I agree with slutty steve. First hand the raise makes it look potentially like you're up against a set, but it could be a J that waited until the turn to get frisky.

Second hand is standard.

Thanks, I needed a sanity check. The first one I got burned on a set of 6's. Second time I lost to Queens and Eights.

you're crazy

[nihil]

Well, I guess it's not SO bad....

So let's get this straight.

Hand one, someone turned a 2 outer against you.
Hand two, someone rivered a 5 outer.

It happens.

nihil, you need to take a look at these hands and think. What voodoo do you think you could perform in either hand that would allow you to win these hands?

Especially the 2nd hand. Honestly, you bet and raised at every opportunity and never hit any resistance. What mystical powers would allow you to know you were gonna lose?

[Nottom]

Both look standard to me.
