Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

the first one i think you should have slowed down on the river and the second one is fine i think

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

1st one definitely slow down, you really have to put your opponent on a hand, will he call down multiple streets with a KJ or K10? Check behind on river. Seems like a very passive player.

2nd one is fine, you're not getting away from a full house.

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

What everyone else has said is spot on. You have to exercise some pot control in hand 1 on the river. Hand 2 is a cooler.

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

2nd hand definitely a cooler!

1st hand is fine, too, imo.
Why do we want to check behind on the river?
I think KJ,K9 and other hands are calling.
I play it the same.

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

check back river on 1? nooooooooooooooo

wp op, running bad, playing g00t

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

1st hand I check behind on the river against all but the biggest fishies.

2nd hand is a cooler.

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

Hand 1 I check behind the river.
Hand 2 I probably can't fold either, but I'd expect to lose.

Re: am i running bad or playing bad???
 

lol @ check behind... you played both hands finds and just got unlucky

check behind on hand 1 is standard. I would bet the minority of the time, with reads.
