In hand 2 your flop-turn-river play seems pretty inconsistent... could you elaborate a bit on your reasoning there?

I'm also not sure about your 3-bet on the flop there.

I'm not either, honestly.

Hand 1 - I make an angry call.

Hand 2- Delicious.

... I think I'd like the turn donk if you had called the raise on the flop.

In hand 1, I'd just fold the river. There's a lot that MP3 could have that beats you and he'd need to have the split a lot to make a call worthwhile. That being said, if I wanted to play on, I'd raise to discourage overcalls. Your opponents are rarely going to fold the split for one bet, but there's a good chance they will for two.

It was the river that got me all excited.

Hand 1 I like.
Hand 2 looks like spewage to me. I know you raised the river to get rid of MP2, thinking that Button is bluffing a missed draw, and that MP2 has your ace beat. But I think it's backwards. I don't see MP2 checking this through with an ace when no draws come through on the river, and I think it's very possible that the button was calling behind with something like A8/A9 in which he was unsure where he stood.

hand 1- that's life.

hand 2- i don't like the flop. i do like the way you manipulated the button on the river to make MP2 face a very uncomfortable situation. i imagine the button would bet many lesser holdings here to try to snatch the pot.
