Aside from the odd HUGE mistake (which I'm learning about ... the hard way...) I think a leak in my game is maximizing good situations. Your comments appreciated:

Party, btw. My table image was pretty crappy. From earlier on there were tons of loose passives so I was raising and c-betting with absolute trash. I usually try to play TAG, but I think this ended up being a more LAGGy session (35% of flops seen).

No reads, cept that I respected DPWhipsaw and his aggression in an earlier tough hand.

Hand No. 1

I didn't like 3 people in the pot, and the board pairing didn't make me happy either. Should the raise been this big? How was the flop raise?


Hand no. 2

Ah yes... DTFH. With a caller to boot.

Yeah it felt good, and I figured that I was good because of the raises (others probably had overs... in retrospect I didn't give credit for anyone having pocket 6s... but ...). Could I have milked this for more (smaller raise perhaps)?


Thanks guys!

Hand 1, raise more on the flop, then I'd make another reasonable raise on the turn. It's unlikely he has a full house given his weak bet on the flop (uncharacteristic of two pair or a set).

Hand 2, why just go all-in? I think I'd make a smaller raise, then push all-in on the turn.
