First hand is really bad, IMO. Fold flop usually, even for $5.

Second hand is pretty standard I think.

Wow... You butchered these pretty badly.

Hand 1: Call PF, fold on flop. After the flop call, why did you bet on the turn? You turned your hand into a bluff in a spot that isn't very good for bluffing. River raise is pure spew.

Hand 2: I would probably fold pf - only call the RR PF for set value... so pretty much if the re-raiser has a tight re-raising range. Again, why bet out on the turn?

Hmm, that first hand sucks. Fold the flop.

Hand 2, what does betting the turn accomplish? I'd bet more if I was trying to fold out 99 or TT, or prepare to fire a big barrel on the river if I thought he could lay down there. All half pot does on the turn is fold out AK.

Hand 1 is pure spew postflop. The flop call might be OK, but after that it's really, really bad.

Hand 2 is ugly, but not as ugly as hand 1. Preflop a call is fine since the RR is so small. Flop call is fine. On the turn, you have to bet more than 1/2 pot if you're going to bet at all. Your bet looks like exactly what it is, a float trying to take the pot away cheaply. Given the board, I don't like betting the turn at all. The river check behind is fine.

Is this more spew? I'm really struggling to gauge just how aggressive 100nl is. No read on BB.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $100.50
BB: $101.50
UTG: $59.60
CO: $206.80
BTN: $35.20

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 Players)
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $4.00</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to $12.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $32.00</font>, <font color="red">BB raises all-in to $101.50</font>, Hero calls all-in for $68.50

That's pretty much a "meh" situation. Against {QQ+,AK} you have 38% equity, which is more than enough to call. Even if it's {KK+,AK} you have 37% since there's so many more combos of AK. Make it {QQ+} and you have 30%.

Pretty much have to call unless you have a read that villain is only doing this with KK+.

At 50nl I'd just call the 3bet preflop, but they're so aggro here it's making me go crazy. I'm completely out of my depth.

Is H1 really that bad? Plenty of unknowns would play TT-KK this way and fold it on turn. I prob fold river but I don't think floating that flop bet and betting turn is that spewy?
