Re: Did I Miss a Couple of Big Bets?
Hand 1: Why try to get so tricky on the turn? I see no reason for it here. You are much better off being straightforward and bet out. Hopefully he'll raise you, then you can put in 3 bets. The other problem with your plan is if something even relatively scary comes on the river like a possible straight you might even get some guy with a hand like Q5s to all the sudden think you made some kind of big hand and he now decides to just call. The other possibility is what happened where you (for no reason IMO) all the sudden think you're behind. So now you've got a hand where you may have gotten numerous big bets out of on the turn, to only get in one bet on the turn and one on the river. IMO, playing these kind of hands straightforward against relatively weak opponents (like the typical Party 15-30 games) will make you MUCH more in the long run.
