Hello everyone. I'm what you might call mentally lazy. I've spent alot of time reading these forums and various books on poker, but I don't feel that I have fully digested it or applied it at the table as well as I could. I would like to make a sincere effort to turn that around. I intend to reread my poker literature and review my hands on a daily basis. Also I'll be posting hand histories here if that is alright with you all.

After reviewing todays hands, there are two in particular that I had some trouble with:

Hand 1: Button is very very tight and passive. Though I was nearly certain that I was ahead before the flop, I felt that he was capable of calling with AA because he almost never raised preflop. Flop seems relatively harmless, so I fire a 2/3 pot bet. Button's raise concerned me. I really felt that he hit a set, but I couldn't lay this down.

Button has Jh Js (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins $8.50.

Hand 2: At this point I had only seen MP1 play 4 or 5 hands, but he seemed to be a maniac. He contested every pot, and went all in preflop with 44 one time. The flop doesn't scare me much so again I bet 2/3 pot. The turn card concerns me, because I can't put this guy on any range.. but I'm not about to lay this down because I've seen him be overly aggressive. However, that read is from a very small sample size. I really had no idea where I stood in this hand, I just hit the call button and crossed my fingers.

By the way, what is the difference between Hold'em Hand Histories and Hold'em Strategies? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hand 1: hmm, i think this is fine, except i'd bet the river.
hand 2: A+

this is the right place. hand histories you want specific advice on go here, general ideas/questions go in strategies

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

BankItDrew will become famous soon enough

Hand 1: He has a good hand (indicated by his flop raise), but not THAT good of a hand (indicated by his turn check), you should know at this point that your kings are good. His flop riase was just a question to you: Do you have AK? Or an Overpair? You answered with an overpair by your call = him checking the turn.

Hand 2: Nice call on the turn. The pot is $11.10 and only another $4.70 to call his AI (looks like he went all in here). Very standard, nh.

This is the right place for this post of your hand history. The strategies forum is more of a broader view of the game. GL!
