Are you kidding me?

Hand 1: What are you gonna do? He's afraid to bet his top pair. It happens.

Hand 2: Was this after you read the replies to hand 1? I think you played it fine. You have the odds to call the turn bet. I'd call down the river at 16:1.

Post some replies to hands too. Just read em and post what you think without looking at other thoughts. You'll learn a lot when you get shredded (you will)

Screw that I'm still capping turn and river (unless J or K hits river, when I only let the river get to 3 bets.

agreed. Just a pointing out a fact to the n00b.

Fear it not grasshopper, but aware of the possibility you should be.

Indeed, I knew you weren't telling me not to bet all out. Thanks for correcting me.

Just a few things Budid;

1) Always look for dead money going in the pot. MP1 is the dead money. This means you only have to be correct that you have the best hand 1/3 times to make a profit. 2/3 times if if its heads up. So suppose instead of having AQ, you had A2. You hit the fullhouse, thats fine, but your getting bet hard, and you start thinking about the other nuts out there. But the more dead money you have in, the more you can call.

Complicated concept, but I think its one of the key ones to not spew chips at this limit. Perhaps one of the more advanced players can come in and finish it off for me.

2) Everytime you post results, god gives a bad beat against you. Don't post em, they interfere with the 'right play'.
