hand 1:
I know nobody will like limping this hand in this spot, but I am intrested in what you guys think I should raise to here after I have already commited the sin of limping a big pair? Or what u guys think I shoud bet on the flop?
hand 2:
I think I played these jacks better, or is it too big or a over bet? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Comments would be cool....

These are both pretty bad. If you're this uncomfortable playing JJ in levels one and two, imagine they're 66 or 77 and play strictly for set value, especially out of position.

I don't know what else to say except experience and seeing these situations multiple times will help. You don't have to go bananas like this every time you get a big pair early. Relax and let the hand develop.

hand 1 just raise preflop, lrr is sort of gay esp with such an awkward hand, when he just calls you're probably ahead but will have to play cautiously. hand 2, i usually just call.

jus pretend their tens... seems like ur playing em like queens

thats the simplest and most easy to follow advice i could think of, there is definately better more advanced advice, but what i said is a good stepping stone

Hand 1: Raise first in, just call the raise as played.
Hand 2: Calling and taking a flop is better.
