$11 sng's post flop when in limp pot when I am BB

Thanks for the answer. I'll just let the loose players take most of these pots and then break them when I get a hand...

with 4 people in the hand you're rarely (far) ahead with top pair no kicker. especially in the second hand when your top pair is a 6, it's really not unlikely that people limp with pocket 7s to 10s. first hand you may be ahead, but i'd be done with (both) the hand after the flop bet is called.

Just my 2 cents.

Hand 1) The board is coordinated enough that donks at this level will call with too much for your bet to take it down I think. Maybe if I was acting second to last or better yet, last I may lay a pot sized bet to hopefully take it down as the last money I put in.

Hand 2) That puny lead bet by the chip leader could be many things. I just wouldn't bother tangling with her here especially since your reraise represents such a small percentage of her stack.

Yeah, what everyone else said. You should probably play these hands like you would with 2nd pair.

Betting out on the first flop is not a crime, but if you do, 140 is too much. Bet 1/2 pot, like 80.

Your raise on the 2nd hand is a bit big too. Raising there in an 11 probably isn't a good idea, but what the hell, maybe you were bored or something. Once you are called, betting the turn is not good. I'd just shut it down and hope for a 3.

The other thing about the 2nd hand is that your top pair is so low that you could easily be up against an overpair like 77 that limped preflop.

Early levels I hope that both my cards hit the flop else its Check/Fold or re-evaluate a checked flop.

If you lead the flop like in Hand 1 and get it HU then checking the turn is bad with a marginal Hand especially with the card that fell. Lead again and fold to a reraise.

Checking turn and then checking the river is for when you have a monster and want to induce a bluff.
