first hand, perfect
second hand, fold pf, check behind on that flop given action

Really you would have folded KQs? I thought I was tight but obvisouly still not enough?

Re: 3$ Turbo: 2 lost hands, how did I play?
 

first hand: preflop fine. I would have bet a little less on that flop. 200 - 250. Call the turn and cry when he shows the set.

second hand: agree with evenkeal. fold it pre flop. raise here is bad. too many people to act behind you. given your line I dont mind the bet on the flop. again I would have bet a little less as I feel you will accomplish the same goal without risking as many chips. shutdown to any action tho.

I make it more to go preflop in the first hand at least t150 as qq is not a hand i want to play multiway, its a value raise of sorts. Im going broke in a 3 dollar post flop like yourself.

Fold kq in hand 2 its an overrated hand and your stack is awkward here.
