Hand 1:
I really don't like when overcards flop against my PP. I go weak, since I find myself betting into people who will call all the way to the river to maximize bets out of me, or since they have TPWK or 2nd pair.

Button has position, and I've given up on this hand. I'm now in check/fold mode. Is this the right move?

Hand 2:

I'm not happy about how this hand turned out at all. This table has been solid. Tight and aggressive PF, with only players making loose (but not stupid) calls.
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP2 caps</font>, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero calls.
Flop: (17.50 SB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero folds, MP2 calls, CO calls.
So here's my logic. I've got overpairs with a capper & 4-bet caller behind me, who I believe are solid players. UTG is also solid. I see these hands out there: AA, KK, AK, AQ, KQ, QQ, JJ. With the Qxx flop, I'm now dominated by all the hands, except AK (spilt pot) & JJ. I know the pot was huge, but I didn't like the situation I was in. I feel I should have called or raised this flop. And if I did, what's the plan of action for the rest of the hand?

Warning! Self-Indulging Moment: This is my first SS post, and I'm also now an enthusiast. /images/graemlins/grin.gifI was told SS starts at $2/$4, so here I am. I started at MS ($0.02/$0.04), and I feel like I've come a long way, joining the high rollers at $2/$4. Thank you all for everything!
