couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

villains are complete unknowns in both, but the level of play is pretty bad in these games.

thanks!

On the first hand you're committed. The second call is spew?

Re: couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

Ok hand 1 i really dont like the flop raise as you're just pushing out hands you beat and letting them call with hands that have you beat. I guess it's a semi-drawy board so raising isn't completely horrible, and calling down puts u in alot of difficult spots on certain cards, basically thi sis why you don't call oop with hands like QK. I'd either reraise PF or dump it, that makes this hand infinitely easier to play. 2nd hadn im not sure, i guess its not that bad but both of these hands depend on reads, u have any?

yea 2nd hand prolly is spew.. dunno, was debating to call or to fold... then just decided [censored] it and called

Re: couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

First hand is fine IMO. In the second hand reraising is fine, but please fold to his 4-bet.

Re: couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

The first hand is OK.
But the second hand without reads i will fold to his 4bet.

Re: couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

2nd hand is fine wtf. Shortstacks are terrible.

1st hand I think ur check raise was to too large of an amount. undecided if I like it.

Re: couple of v.basic hands, sanity check
 

Both seem standard to me.

I might crai turn on first hand against aggro player.
