Hand 1, the preflop call of 2 is too loose. Postflop try putting some bets in somewhere and don't post straight flush / quads / huge hands on this board, noone cares.

2 big flops
I had 2 hands tonight where I flopped huge hands. The first I could've played better, the second, I'm not sure, but I'm looking for advice in any case.

Re: How aggressive with top 2?
I mostly am taking a break - I played for 2 hours on stars just to assess my mental state in regards to poker. I may play the $500 sunday tourney, but after that, nothing more for at least 2 weeks.

Re: WCOOP Main Event
Was off to a decent start, got up to 3600 20 minutes in, but I've fallen back to the starting stack level by losing several small pots.
2415 and 436/720 at the break.
