Hand 1: I'd reraise the flop and see what they do on the turn. If they check, move in. You have position, so use it.

Hand 2: I'd play it the same.

Let me guess: Someone had fours on the first hand, and someone had deuces on the second?

My guess:

JT suited on the first hand.
Ax hearts on the second - probably AJ (Remember - this is $25).

Ooh, I didn't even think of JTs on the first hand. Yeah, I'll go with that then.

I dunno about the second though. I mean, I've seen some bad plays at 25NL, but if the guy had AJ, well, damn. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hand 1: Definitely reraise the flop.

Hand 2: I think you played fine, but this kinda looks like a set.

Yea I pretty much completely agree, I don't know what the hell I was thinking that first hand. I *think* that the stupid idea going through my head was that the other people in the pot were going to call the 3 dollar raise, and then on the turn when I raise all-in it would create more dead money as they would likely fold there. As I said, stupid idea.

Ah you should have stayed with 44 for the first hand. I was pretty much screwed the second the flop hit there. Hey at least I had 4 outs right?

The second hand wasn't as bad as AJ. He had KQo and MHIG.
