Two shitty hands.
Hello. Yesterday was a really shitty poker day. I lost two $50 buy ins in 90 minutes and didn’t recover completely so the day ended with about a $50 loss. I hate loosing. After the week end ultra-fishy home games my game is usually at it’s lowest on Mondays, since the fish drag my game down in the water to their level (well, not really, I doubled up Saturday night being re-raised and then called PF when I pushed AA, opponent had 8 9 o, things like that all night). So, I doubt my play was right in the two following hands:
Hand 1. $0.5 BB. 7-8 handed.
I’m in BB with 66. My read on mp2 is that up until that point he is a frequent bluffer. And the way he bluffs is a bit unorthodox, he will re-re-re-re-re-raise HU with nothing. He will also try stealing pots by open betting post flop. I have about $50 and he’s got me covered.
MP2, CO and SB limps. I check
Flop 2 6 9 rainbow
SB checks
I check
CO bets for $2
Fold
Fold
I call
Turn is 4c.
I Raise $10
MP2 raises to $15
I Call
River is K (no flush possible)
I bet $10
He raises to $20
I push for about $22
He calls
Results later.
I usually don’t slow play sets when the board is even semi-dangerous, but I didn’t really see a hand on this board other than a higher set, especially since both blinds folded. Should I have pushed the turn? Or should I have just called or even folded the river? What hands do you put him on? All advice appreciated.
Hand 2
This hand I think I messed up even worse than hand one.
.50BB. 9 handed. I’m in MP with Ac Jc. Villain is UTG with about $30, I have him covered. No real read.
UTG limps
I limp
2 limpers behind me and BB checks
Flop As Ks Js
UTG bets 5.50
I raise to 12
Fold

Fold
UTG goes all in
I call
Turn 8s
River 3s
I really wasn’t thinking before calling here. After his opening bet I put him on A x, maybe x was a spade, but I later realized he could be on a variety of hands. AK? AJ? Right after I called I realized he probably had a low flush, wanting to protect it. How big underdog am I against a low flush here? I figured he could also be on nut flush draw, or flush draw+ straight draw. I really feel I shouldn’t have called his all in, but I’m also concerned if my re-raise on the flop was the correct move. Should I have called or folded or raised more? What is the probability of someone flopping a flush when 5 people see the flop and the flop is 1-suited?
Thanks in advance everyone
