Re: Too much action given?

Re: 88 SB, overpair
Tough spot. In the heat of the moment I'd probably just bet out the flop, but I like your line better. It's worth risking it getting checked through (or an EP bet) because CRing here is so...

Re: pretty simple question
I think it simply comes down to how often you are ahead.
If you are ahead, then betting is clearly right because you can protect your hand and give yourself the option of a free showdown or...

Not much to add, but you should try to get out and play live if you can. If nothing else, it'll help restore some confidence when you get a good look at your opponents and realize just how clueless...
