Re: one pair disaster
I actually don't think you plyed either hand that poorly.
Hand 1 looks fine, I like the raise on the flop to charge some gutshot draws, etc. When you're raised on the river, whaddaya gonna do? Call the bet and get 'em next time.
On hand 2, what did you put SB on? I ask because your flop call could have easily been a raise. Were you planning on raising the turn on a safe card, or were you going to call down? I think a read on SB is important here, as well as on the river. You must evaluate the chance that a King helped his hand. Does he only raise out of the SB with high quality card? If so, I would assume AK and KQ are a big part of his hand range here, not to mention the hearts. I am tempted to check behind.
