Some Additional Comments as I review the first half (93) of the hands

Hand 9 - This is a very nice battle between the two blinds and a situation where both players did a good job of reading each other's bets nicely.

With that said, I agree with Jeffrey that the call on the turn shouldn't have been made. I don't think you can even count implied odds in this as any card that shows up that would help your hand would be a scare card to Courtie. I think your line of check/call (smallish to mid bets only) is a better line than betting and calling the re-raise.

Hand 23 - Fimanoid, if you are only "pretty sure" that you have the best hand why bet the river? The pot is small and you can only beat a call by someone who thinks you are bluffing. I can see making this bet if you thought you needed to bet to win the hand, but in your case why not just check this down?

Hand 43 - Fimanoid, ,why not raise pre-flop here? Also, why not go with a check/call on the flop, then attack on the turn. I wouldn't be too afraid of the flush draw against just one opponent.

hand 55 - courtie, You have position on the original raiser and the blinds are still pretty low. At what point would you call a standard raise from the button with AQo?

Hand 71 - Anon, why not raise Courtie's bet on the turn? You have a ton of outs here so why not get some money in the pot and put a little pressure on here? Is that a bad line to take here?
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
