No reads.

Hand #1. Question did I go to far with this hand. I was thinking maybe I should have folded the turn given the action up to that point.

Hand 1: I would 3 bet the flop at least, I think you gave up on this one too soon. The river fold is good though.

Hand 2: This is ok, raising the turn and checking behind on the river is ok too.

Hand 1 - I'd check-raise the flop and lead the turn if just called. I'd 3-betted I'd probably call down unless faced with two like the river here.

Hand 2 - I'd fold the turn and kick the cat.

Mostly pot size. Whether you raise the turn and take the free showdown or call down you're spending 2BB to win 6BB. I guess it depends (I'm notorious for folding too much) but I personally can't see someone betting a hand I beat here more than 33% of the time here. But I could be wrong and weak-tight here...

Interesting. Folding never crossed my mind here. I'm also kind of weak-tight, who's trying to change. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I guess I'm more weak-tight than you [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Anyways I know that results don't matter (in some ways) but I'm curious what Villain showed in Hand 2. You can PM it to me if you'd like.
