With these great preflop hands, are you raising enough preflop to make trash hands fold? Are you paying attention to betting/calling patterns to try to recognize when villian completes his flush? Remember that folding is often the best play. It can save you money. GL
After watching some of spoon's lecture/videos I changed my pre-flop raises to 3x from BU/CO. Those two I mentioned were both either from cutoff or button with the blinds calling. His reasoning for raising 3x from late and 4x from early makes sense, but getting these hands busted to that shit sucks. Would they have folded to a 4x? Who knows.

On another note, I hit a nice cash on a 5$ tourney. My bankroll can no w support up to 10$ tourneys again, which is nice, but I'll stick to 5$/8$ and the 3$ rebuy for now. I keep getting massive beats, but at least I know I'm putting my chips in when I should. As soon as these beats stop I'll strike a big win.
