I've had a bad run lately, and I don't know whether it is because I suck or what. I'll just post some hands and comment on them if you want. Thanks.

Hand #1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?628058
- was I overaggressive here?

Hand #2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?627962
- can I really call with my hand amist all this action?

Hand #3: http://www.pokerhand.org/?626628
- for all you that said you can't fold a set on a non-connected, non flush board... I beg to differ.. i easily coulda layed this down, I thought for sure he had KK after he reraised me on the turn, but stupidly pushed all in.

Hand #4: http://www.pokerhand.org/?626480
- I have problems with this.. people bet large, or push AI on the river and i have something pretty good but not the nutz, do I lay down or call on river?

I don't play at limits this high so please take my comments with a grain of salt.

1. Shit happens. Lay it down only if you have a really good read on opponent.

2. Right fold. I won't be result oriented. Very rarely do you run into 3 other donks in the same hand. Given the action someone could easily have JJ or a set. The guy with pair+draw (14 outs) is actually ahead of you. I might not even bother to call the 1st flop bet.

3. I don't know. I guess this is the mental part of the game.

4. I might fold. An overpair probably won't lead into strength on the river.

dude you played these hands fine, don't beat yourself up over 4 tough spots.

You don't beat much in hand 1, but top two is tough to lay down on a non-flush-straight board.
Family Cruise IMO

Hmmm... sucks to be you

Hand #1, With top 2 pair in a raised pot OOP I don't have a better line. You can't get a cheap showdown and you can't really lay down to the flop nearly min-raise. You beat AK, AJ, KK, draw, and a bluff... turn check raise line looks good to me because you maximize the value against the hands you beat.

Hand #3, if you don't play baby pairs in shithouse position, you won't get this problem. Problem with playing these baby pairs is you need at least 10:1 implied odds to compensate your set over set hands and you're going to be OOP and it's just so damn hard to build a big pot against good opposition holding a one-pair hand OOP even if you hit your set. 44 also has almost no value if you don't hit your set.

Hand #4, fine. 4 to 1 odds

Not playing 44 oop here when p/f raiser wants to play a big hand is silly. This is exactly the situation you want. Playing for set value is exactly the point.

If you're routinely folding baby pairs in EP, you have a huge leak. The only debate is whether you should limp 'em or raise 'em, and to some people it's not a debate.
