Two hands about 45 mins in to the tourney, literally one hand apart, I get dealt 77, and I think play them awful. Help! These smaller pairs kill me - major leak in my game.
First hand. Villain just arrived at the table. I just play scared here, don't I?

Second hand. No real reads. I know I played this one bad . I convinced myself he had a higher club. Should I have raised PF?
