Hand #2:
MP was very loose raising preflop, especially from CO/Button, but had a pretty wide range MP too. I'm not sure if he even has a legit raising position. BB's cc scared me a little. Not sure if this was the right place to stack off but folding I thought was terribly weak.

Hand 1, I don't really like it, what's gonna call you that you beat? I think you're splitting at best here. Readless, I don't mind a calldown and pray he minraised KQ.

Hand 2, preflop is fine, I don't like the flop action though... dry board other than JT, I think a shove is only gonna get called by KQ or 33.

Hand 1: You should definitely repop preflop with a hand like AK. That said, a min-re-raise at this level usually indicates a lot of strength. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed QQ or AA. As played, this is the dream board and you have to get your money in here.

Hand 2: I'm not sure if you can get away from this. Your raise preflop and your bet on the flop are both just about right. When the BB min-raises you on the flop I'd expect to see a lucky KQ here a lot.

1st hand..... I liked the way you played it.

2nd hand..... The thing I dont like here, you reraised it PF, made a half pot bet here and he still reraises you on that board (rainbow)....... he only has $16.83 behind him so, I guess the push is fine... but most times I am calling and see what the turn brings ..... I think you are beat by KQ/KQs
