Expert Play according to the Table Coach

i find it hard to critique a better player playing at levels ive never spent a decent amount of hands playing to understand....

but imo preflop seems pretty bad in both. i limp hand 1 and fold hand 2.... hand 1 is close, hand 2 is just... wrong

postflop is perfect in both hands, maybe that has something to do with why you can play 89s UTG.

How is preflop wrong in hand two? Preflop is great. He has a hand with a bit of top pair value, that is suited and connected on a table that is loose and sees few pre flop raises. These are ideal conditions to play mid suited connectors like T9s and 98s in EP, yes you lack position, but knowledge of the the players at the table and how to play the situations that will come up will help to minimize any disadvantages you have.

i def would not limp hand 1. folding is a lot better than limping in this case. i think a raise is in order because a passive rock can be outplayed postflop. a raise is in order on the flop though.

not a good idea to limp in in hand 2 IMO. unless the table is so loose/passive that you expect 5 way limps after you. the table may have been just that. so you can't really say it's WRONG.

is call on the flop in hand 1 was fine.

I don't like the limp in hand 2. Not during the first orbit, anyway. I would want to get a better feel for what's going on before making a super-marginal limp OOP. After that, it looks fine. What did CO call with? AK? 55?

ok, sweriously, I tihnk that in had 1 you need to fold Pf. u'll be domenated to offten. If plyers are weak potsflops then i could maybe raise ti. ur postflop pla yis good IMO.

Hadn 2 is kind iffy preflop, but itsokay. AGain, opstflop i sstandard.
