In hand 1 my thought process on pot control was just that versus this particular opponent. My hand could not stand a C/R and so I thought a check behind would allow me some options. As is poker though there are + and - to every move and I guess I am just trying to decide which move has the most upside compared to the move with the worst downside.

In hand 2 the flop call is definetly suspect but I figured if with my position I could possibly move at this pot if a total blank fell or at the very least check behind if they were planning a move and get 5 cards for a moderate fee.

As for the tournament, I can't play today unfortunately. I have to deal myself. Possibly will play live afterwards though. The games have been exceptional for the past week.
