Some advice on two hands please....

[LBJ]

I don't know how I played these hands, any and all advice would be appreciated. You can see the stacks below. SB in this hand is very unreadable. I've been playing with him for probably only 15 minutes but so far I can only tell he calls a lot preflop and likes to see his share of flops. No read on UTG raiser either.

Should I have pushed after the reraise preflop? I'm sure he wouldn't have called an all-in with just 5's, althought he has surprised me before ($20 preflop with 5s).

I am almost positive I made the right decision post-flop, regardles of results.



Here is one more hand. Definitly not as major, but this situation seems to happen a lot. I like to play a lot of suited connectors, sometimes even 2 gappers....This happened before the previous one, so chronological order is not happening here...

I'm thinking I made the right decision, but at the time of this hand, I read the villian as a LAG, who likes to raise and call, and overvalued some hands.

Any advice is appreciated. Also, I'm new to this forum, so how can I go about using the hand history converter??

In the first hand, reraise preflop. Second hand you played fine. Here is a link to the converter....

Hand 1, I'd probably push after the re-raise to isolate - you don't want AK calling in this situation, and then it takes away your flop decision (which was correct).
Hand 2 is fine.
