Hand 1: marginal call from SB. I usually toss AQ-ish stuff unless he likes to steal.

Flop: Don't min-check-raise ! Either raise big, or just call.

Turn: don't check/fold. Check/call, then bet river.

what kind of flush can you put this guy on? The ace is out there, and rocks don't raise KJs.


Hand #2: Looks good.
