Now that I look at this, my call for the all-in looks ridiculous, but I just want to make sure.


Also, Here's another outgoing hand too. I appreciate your critique. Steve.

I was already ITM, and gambling for 1st. Good play? Shoot, This sucked too, at least I think?

first hand you very easily could get away. why would you waste all those chips with nothing. when u face a raise right there, you can almost guarantee someone has a 9 with 2 people in there. dont throw your money away with the sucker end of a 2 pair board.

for hand number 2, thats not terrible at all. you give yourself a double up chance with a coin flip. jerry will fold all but the locked up nuts preflop when you do that so that he can sneak into second. you double up the coinflip there, u have a shot to win. i would do the same thing. but hand number 1, sheesh, tighten up /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah, I should've folded K4 when any bet comes. Steve.

Yes, both are bad. You got called and then CR'd by *two* people in Hand 1; one of them has a 9. In Hand 2, the limp often means 'I have aces' and certainly means you're getting called - not a good thing with a pair of 2's. Fold or complete (probably fold) but do not push.
