As running bad tends to induce, I've been thinking about some recent hands trying to locate some mis-steps. Remeber the hands clearly, but at work so no HH/converter, I'll do my best, both are Party $100NL, 6-max...



Hand 1:

Villian in CO (~$100) semi-lag, about 30/15, no real read
Hero covers

Preflop: Hero is BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Folded to Villian, Villian raises to $3, Hero raises to $11, Villian calls $8

Flop: ($22) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero bets $21, Villian calls $21

Turn: ($64) Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero...

With a pot bet behind putting him in is this an easy push? I don't really like the turn card nor do I really like Villian still in the pot. With 10, J, Q, on board I froze...




Hand 2:

Villian in MP (~$110) seems loose pf w/vpip ~40, but not many hands
Hero (~$110)

Preflop: Hero is button with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
MP limps, CO limps, Hero raises to $6, folds, Villian calls $5

Flop: ($14) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villian checks, Hero bets $11, Villian raises to $22, Hero calls $11

Turn: ($58) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villian checks, Hero checks

River ($58) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villian pushes ~$75, Hero...

This hand seems misplayed looking back. Typically I check behind on the flop w/paired boards like this, which I think may be a better line. His min-raise scared me but could be anything including f-draw, this could be debated. But is enough to warrant a call on the end? I think c flop, c/c turn may be a better line, but then I still seem to have little idea where I am in the hand, thoughts?
