I decide to play a few hands of 400NL even though I am quite underbankrolled for it. Well, I played 40 hands, got aces once, kings twice, and came out 80 bucks up.

Aces I raised preflop to 15, one caller, flop had two kings, i bet 2/3 the pot and he folded.

At first, I was going to write my thoughts on each one but i'm gonna instead wait to see what people think of how I played them.

First kings. The room was generally tight. Ddog stood out as being loose and possibly even fishy (for the room) though i hadn't seen him long enough yet to be sure.

all i really have to say about this hand, is he has aces y/n?

And, I left the opponents river move off both hands just because I thought that might sway your thoughts.

i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

sorry, i changed my questions after lamaros posted. About the second hand, I originally asked.

A. should I have reraised preflop.
B. if the flop came differently would you fold if he pushed. I would ask about this flop in particular, but unless the guy is sporting aq its safe to say my hand is garbage.

i dont like hypothetical "what if the flop was different" questions...just too many variables. apart from your passiveness preflop (just shove), you played the hand properly. youre not beating anything on that flop.

i know, that's why i took the question out, i just figured since lamaros answered it i'd add it back in.

#2, i guarantee you got out flopped, but the straight draw gave you a little room to gambool

take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately
