Re: 2 tough overpair spots
I didn't raise hand 1 because I didn't think I had any shot at thinning the field, and acting out of position in the family pot I thought I'd conceal the hand and go for a set or c/r undercards.

2 tough overpair spots
Only been playing a few minutes so no real reads, but I've been running the tables so far.
I'm still learning how to play overpairs properly multi-way. On the second hand I really wasn't aiming...

Re: Too aggressive? (3 examples)
1. Check-raising high PP's, especially twice, especially against unknowns, will get you into a lot of trouble. I prefer playing it straightforward and reevaluating.
Hand 2 looks good to me. I...

Re: Bottom Pair + Fl. Draw
The reason why I wouldn't believe it to be a big hand is because of the passivity of the rest of the table; given the play from most others there he would have been much more likely to not get in any...

Bottom Pair + Fl. Draw
Button was LAGy, table was passive overall. Not sure about this flop play. I thought it would conceal my hand and that I had about enough outs to make it worthwhile.

KK, just a question of when to give up
Not sure if the bet on the turn was worthwhile, or if I should have just stopped there. Both weer loose passive, 30+/9/1 over about 100 hands.

Re: AA on a tough board
Thanks for all the replies. I knew I should have raised somewhere, but I wasn't sure where. I'm feeling like the turn would have been right.

AA on a tough board
How's my line on each street? I think I just wimped out when the limper was the one that bet out. I thought I might raise the turn if I backdoored a flush draw but when the blank came I froze up.

Re: A trifecta of poorly played hands.
I don't mind hand 2. I think the turn bet on hand 3 is pretty key. Hand 1 is just a tough go all the way, but I don't think I'd take it past the turn. It seems to be the kind of hand I can't play...
