Help me size my bets.

[Dans Full]

Is there a better sized bet I could have made on either of these hands that could have maximized my profits without making it cheap enough to get drawn out on? $5 is nice..but I can' help but feel I could have made more.

#1 Don't post if you aren't the BB, ever.

1) A potsized raise on the flop would be 2.4, but I'd usually bet about 2, as it makes it easier for him to call and easy enough to get his semi-small stack in on the turn. A good rule of thumb I've used is to bet about 1/3 of villains stack if I wan't to get AI on the next street.

2) Flop raise is a perfect potsized raise. On the turn I'd bet pot again.

hand 1 is fine, if anything i bet a little more on the flop.

hand 2 i prolly bet a little bigger on the turn, the rest is fine. like $0.8-1.0 or something. Doesnt really make a huge difference.

If they dont have a hand, they dont have a hand... nothing you can do about it. Just try and bet so you get value from their decent hands/draws, rather than trying to suckout every last penny just incase they have a crap hand that wont call more than a minbet.

I actually didn't post. I don't know why it says that..maybe an error in the converting? I've been at the table for over an hour, and I definitely did not post. I maybe be inexperienced, but I do know better than that.

So you're agreeing there is nothing more I could have won out of these 2 hands? I know my bets are a little small, but Im was trying to not let them off my line.
