This next hand MP1 is pretty loose. I've seen him call down with Q high, but raises usually aren't bluffs, and I felt that it meant he could be one pair.

Hand 1: Id cut my balls off before folding this river. EDIT: hmm misread the board. So any q has u beat- man this sux- Fold.

Hand 2: Fold the river now that its 2 back 2 u. I prob would have bet and then folded if it was another 2 back to me.

* grunch *

in both cases i think you played it right, and got caught on the river by miracle cards.

hand 1 you were aggro and called down. just got caught with the straight draw...

hand 2 you were aggro and i think utg2 hits his flush, he didnt press on the turn cause he feared not drawing to it but then caught it...mp1 who knows...

i play both similar if not the same

1) You're getting nearly 7.5-1 to call on the river with someone still to act behind you. It's very, very likely one of them has a queen. Your chances of having the best hand aren't worth a call so you were correct.

2) I think you played this correctly too. Looks like you're beaten by a flush, or UTG+2 could've even had 2-pair/set on the flop.

I bet the river in hand 2.

Hand 1 fold looks good. Bet the river in hand 2, but given the check the fold is fine. Now to see how wrong I am... [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
