These were two very similar hands I played last session...both were tough situations. The villains in both hands were very aggressive with good hands as well as draws. In hand 1, I was planning on waiting for a safe turn card before putting in a raise. This was probably a very bad idea as I lost control of the hand and didn't know where I stood.
