Do you guys think I'm nuts and need to slow down more often?

[mscags]

I find that playing big pairs in H/L that aren't Aces in multi way pots very difficult. With that being said and all of your Kings being dead I would probably just check on fifth and take a free card. Seat 3 could have a low already and in tha case you're drawing to only half the pot.

I play strong low starting hands probably a little bit different than most people. I will complete with a lot of hands, but I usually don't jam on third unless I'm trying to get it heads up with someone, have something like 345s, or something like A2As. Even though you have a great low draw on third it is only third and two of your twos are dead which will make it difficult for the wheel and it is all to easy to double brick and be done for.

Hand 1:
The primary reason that you raise with a big pair in this game is to get people to fold. These folks are half-way in; they're not going anywhere. Furthermore, in case it escaped your attention, your hand is pretty dead. I'm not looking to play a big pot with a hand like this. Your hand is so dead, in fact, that I think you can make a pretty strong case for folding. I would probably limp in because your opposition appears pretty weak.

Since seat 1 called your completion, he should have a little something, but it may not be that great, because he was getting a zillion-to-one and this is a fifty cent game. Still with two low boards out there, I am not crazy about your dead cowboys. I think I check and call one bet.

On fifth I take the free card and am thankful for it. On sixth, I suppose you've made the pot almost big enough to call it down. If you had kept the pot smaller, you could lay this dog down easily. Having gotten to the river, pay it off. Why not?

Hand 2
I don't mind the cap on third street, but it can make the rest of the hand more difficult to play. Note that those two Deuces are important cards for your hand, and with people calling all of those bets, more of your needed cards are probably gone. I think you did well to check fourth and fifth. Why you called two bets on sixth is beyond me. I also don't think your stinky pair of Fives is going to be good on the river often enough to justify a call. You're only playing for half of a small side pot, and you have to beat two players.

[Bartholow]

Yes.
