Back to back hands, tough call on the second one

[EchoOfThunder]

I'm not using the hand converter so you can see the same villains in each hand. The laydown i make on hand 2 is sketchy, but i didnt see how i could call it.

I played it passively at the end, but he had called 2 pretty large bets so I planned on check calling the river. Note that he had QQ and how passive he played his overpair. Now, THE VERY NEXT HAND...

Facing a check raise (from what seemed like a very passive player), then a reraise, I didnt know what to do. I would have called one of them, but two made me feel i was almost certainly beat. On that same note, since I was up against 2 people I easily had covered, If both of them had good hands but not sets them I would get paid off much better.

it's easy to be results oriented on this one, but i do think i should have pushed, they were both short on chips and I should not have been afraid of villain 2, the one who folded on the turn in my last hand.

I don't think it was a bad laydown.. I definently put somebody on a set there.

[guaranteedBluff]

I would've laid it down too, no question about it.

HU call; vs a raise and RR..
I lay down and take a nap.
