I KNOW I jacked this one up, multiple times likely. Please point out the flaws. Read - Big Stack pushing his weight around before this hand.

For the first one, I would raise a from 100 to 225 or push. Because your not getting rid of AK at the 11s. Most of the time he will have like AXs or some other donkey hand.

[nate_king1]

On the second one, I'm confused. All you have is King high? All you can beat are busted draws and bluffs. You have still a lot of chips and to spend 150 on that is a waste imo. I think the only play there would have been push not call.

Hand 1: push - they will call with tons of horrible hands at the 11s
Hand 2: I fold

[yabastid]

Hand 1 is a push and I don't think it's very close. That miniraise is screaming AJ or A9sooooooted, something really donkish.

Hand 2: If he was pushing his weight around before, he's certainly not doing it now. Did you really expect to win with K high? You can't even beat a pair of deuces. His bet on the river is a value bet not a bluff bet. Calling in this situation is absolutely the worst play you could make. Just fold. If you need another option push. But don't, just fold.
