Hey guys, this is the first time I have posted hand histories on here. Just wanted to see if I was mostly making the right moves here.

First hand- no real reads on the players (I don't have PT yet either). Mos tof them were pretty lose and relatively passive. I had been running pretty hot over the past couple of orbits.

Stage #999773820: Holdem Normal $1/$2 - 2008-06-07 21:30:54.001 (ET) [ 2008-06-07 21:30:54 ]
Table: BEVERLY Ave (Real Money) Seat #3 is the dealer
Seat 3 - BOOBLICK ($94.16 in chips)
Seat 5 - PERCHIE2 ($9.10 in chips)
Seat 6 - YULECHKA ($64.27 in chips)
Seat 1 - RAYCZ ($66.44 in chips)
Seat 2 - ELROHIR44 ($126.75 in chips)

This was a couple of hands later. I hadn't really seen this much agression at the table yet and so I wasn't sure if I was up against a set or not. How did I do here? Should I have raised PF, or was limping ok?

Stage #999775505: Holdem Normal $1/$2 - 2008-06-07 21:33:23.004 (ET) [ 2008-06-07 21:33:23 ]

Hand #1: My first instinct (w/out specific reads) is bet turn for sure! Gotta pop for value. At this limit, if you're raised, you're beat.

The river totally depends on turn action after you fire. It's tough w/ no reads. Would they peel flop w/ naked Ace, and just call turn after your bet. If both players call turn bet, I'd check river... If only one called turn, I'd fire again... fold to raise... Gotta max. your value in these games. Players are calling down w/ all kinds of weak trash... make them pay!

Hand #2: Much tougher (partly because you didn't raise pre). W/ 2 limpers, pop pre-flop every time! You didn't show much strength, so it's more difficult to put villains on what they think you have.

I'm not worried about the All-in, as he could just be spewing his last chips. But other villain is showing tons of strength-- capped to you flop. Did he limp w/ 10's? Take 6's out of equation (if he has quads.. oh well). Did he limp w/ AK, KQ? K6? Chop w/ K10?

I was going to say you're beat, but unless he limped w/ K6, k10, 10,6, quads... you actually may be good! NEVER FOLD ANY STREET! I may have gotten frisky, and re-raised turn...

1. bet river
they all check the turn, and check the river again? pretty weak, i know there are 3 clubs out but still...
betting the turn in position would have helped

2. stay in till the end and hope you're good, it's hard to say, but the pot is too big to fold
