2 hands: UN-ABC play?? or good gambles??

[IbrakeFORrivers]

These hands totally wrecked my session, which was going well especially on a fishy table... First hand is in red. Second in blue. I added commentary after each hand.

**COMMENTARY
I think i overplayed this. Especially after that river bet. The read i had on him was not too LAGgy not to TAGgy. Switches it up sometimes bluffs every now and then, but in marginal situations might overbet.

**COMMENTARY
I think i overbet the river. THe flop and maybe the turn i bet correctly? He just came to the table, so i wasn't sure on the read on him....

Are these serious leaks? These are what I classify as "marginal situations" in which retroactively, I should play more ABC. This is a HUGE leak i think... DO you guys agree?
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVACNE GUYS...

don't think too results oriented, kiddo.

hand 1- bet more on the turn, fold to a raise. river check call is fine (it lets him bluff missed straight draws, and controls the pot size), especially when he's nice enough to lay you 4-1.

hand 2- meh. i c/c flop and re-evaluate turn.

[swolfe]

hand 1:
- 5 handed i'm raising this preflop
- flop bet is fine
- bet more ont he turn and don't put any more money in if called

hand 2:
- in a family pot like this there is almost 0 chance that your A is good. flop bet is fine, but once you get a call on this dry board, i'm check/folding the rest of the way.

Hand 1, I'm raising pre-flop 4BB. Raising in these situations will sometimes win the pot outright. Also if you are called, you have a better idea of your opponents hand and it's a lot easier to play post-flop.

Hand 2. I can't see a weak ace holding up against 4 limpers. A near pot-size flop bet was more than I would have bet. About 1/2 that amount would have got you the same information. But after that I'm check/folding to any serious bet.

First hand looks ok. He is much more likely to have a 6 than a 7. Unless he is a known trapper, I think you have to play like this. River call is correct in my opinion.

Hand 2 is misplayed. A8 off is simply to weak, especially with 6 players in the pot. I dont mind the flop bet too much, but after its called, I think you have to check/fold that one.
