Hand 1: I think I call T8 fairly happily
Hand 2: I just call his raise, but given that I 3bet, I fold happily to his 4 bet

I call A8 in the first hand and I call it pretty damn fast.

I call A8 in hand 1
I flat hand 2 and fold as played.

Hand 1: I insta get it in with A8, prolly get it in with A3, and try to look into his soul with T8.

Hand 2: I always flat here pre in live. I fold to his 4 bet pretty quick.

Yeah this 2nd hand has taught me a very valuable lesson about live poker after talking it over with a bunch of people better than myself.

Worth noting that I found out afterwards that villain in hand 2 was in fact AMAK316, fwiw.

hand 2 seems horrible, just flat call this isnt 6max nl.

he never has 99 does he?

yeah, this is a reader's digest version of what I did wrong. since people are raise/folding AQ and 99 in this spot my reraise sucks.

however in my JJ hand he called a rr oop without a pair leaving effective stacks of 4.4k with a pot of 2k. So I was lead to believe I was playing online'ish and he would 4bet wide and call oop wide.
