Two hands from LIVE 5k max-buy in private home game

[subblime]

Perhaps biased cause though I haven't played this game but I know the players.

Hand 1 I agree you need to raise more if you do raise, but I don't think anyone in that game folds KK given that action. Especially someone who is splashing around and looking to pick off a move just like the one you did.

Hand 2 I had a very similar hand recently against Persian who you probably know and I just-called $1,200 pot-sized bet on the river with double-paired board and flush out there. I had second-worst FH. He was $4,000 behind and I thought he'd only call with a better hand if I pushed.

FWIW, he had the worst full house and everyone thought I was a moron for not pushing.
