Hi to all and thanks for this great forum. Been lurking for a while and i guess now its time to post some hands. I have played now about couple of months and one of my biggest loosers is AQo. So what do you think. How i played this two hands? Is it standard without reads?
Cause in both hands i just sat down so no reads at all [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

first hand is good fold, second is close but I call with your draws and [censored].

Think u played both hands correctly. It takes lots of hands (about 200 000) before u can read from stats if u play a specific hand right. Is AKo, KQo and AJo also big losers? How do u play AQo if raised infront of u?

With no reads, both folds are fine. Coordinated boards, smaller pots, unknown players. Once those factors change, then it gets a bit trickier.

AKo and KQo are small winners and AJo pretty even. Usually i fold without reads

Both folds are fine.

EDIT:
Hand 1. I would check the turn and call a river bet.
Hand 2. I play the same.

Hand #1. Check the turn.
Hand #2. Check/fold the turn.

Hand 1 looks fine to me. Hand 2, the turn brought on 4 to a straight, so I would have check/folded.

According to other's posts, they would have bet/folded Hand 2. I would trust their advice over mine

welcome to the micro forum roihu

the first hand looks good

the second hand you need to check/fold that turn card. just doesnt make sense for you to have a straight there.
