Sorry about the format, hand converter doesn't work with Poker Office. I tried getting them emailed to me from Stars and tried inputting that and it still didn't work.

 Your bet-sizing is really, really, really bad.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

It's limit you tard.

I think you gave too much action on the river in both hands. Probably a missed flop bet in the second hand.

Your ability to notice that he's playing LHE is, really, really bad.

1st hand: Standard fwiw.
2nd hand: Cap river millions of hands pay you off.

It's .05/.10 you don't think capping with trips is +ev? I think we're ahead more than we're behind when he 3 bets, and he's definitely calling with worse.

Minus a read, most people are pretty passive and straight forward on the river.

I have been finding that when they go crazy on the river it usually means they hit a card but more often than not it's two pair. However, they will call pretty much any bet with 2nd pair, etc.
