Here are two more HH's I need critiqued. These two and the one I posted on the other thread are the three I lost on that I wasnt happy with. Tell me where I went wrong.

1) Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG+1 ($1.95)
UTG+2 ($0)
MP1 ($111.03)
MP2 ($13.55)
MP3 ($1.55)
Hero ($33.60)
Button ($46.60)
SB ($4.75)
BB ($15)
UTG ($8.89)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K

, A

. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
2 folds, MP1 raises to $0.5, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, 2 folds.

Flop: ($1.85) K

, 5

, 7

(4 players)
MP1 bets $0.75, Hero raises to $2, Button folds, MP1 calls $1.25.

Turn: ($5.85) A

(3 players)
MP1 bets $1, Hero raises to $3, MP1 calls $2.

River: ($11.85) 7

(3 players)
MP1 bets $5, Hero calls $5.

Final Pot: $21.85
Results in white
Hero's two pair A's K's lose to Full house 7's over A's

2)Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP3 ($1.60)
CO ($30.10)
Button ($109.23)
SB ($16.20)
BB ($1.55)
Hero ($23.10)
UTG+1 ($46.10)
UTG+2 ($6.60)
MP1 ($14.65)
MP2 ($10.49)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A

, A

. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
Hero raises to $0.5, 6 folds, Button raises to $1.85, 2 folds, Hero raises to $5.9, Button calls $4.05.

Flop: ($12.15) K

, 4

, K

(2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

Turn: ($12.15) J

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.25, Button calls $0.25.

River: ($12.65) 3

(2 players)
Hero bets $1, Button raises to $2, Hero calls $1.

Final Pot: $16.65Results in white

Hero's two pair A's K's lose to Ace high flush. Here I see I lost this on the turn bet. But this guy was very loose and chased most everything. Same guy in both HH's. So I think even if I threw out a $3-$4 turn bet he probably would have chased for the flush anyhow. Especially with his stack size.

1. Fine. He hit runner runner, you made him pay to get there. I think it's -EV to fold top 2 to that river bet especially give your read on villan.

2. Again he hit runner runner BUT - Awful post-flop play. You basically announced a huge hand pre-flop. I think you have to follow up on the flop with a feeler bet once again projecting strength. KK is unlikely, AK is the only hand to really fear. I would put him on a PP lower than AA. So bet out and see how he reacts or check and see what he does, I prefer betting. Turn BET BET BET. You have to bet a respectable amount relative to the pot. ANY hand can call a $.25 bet- it accomplished nothing.

You have to keep the pressure on the bad guy. You took the initative pre-flop and then just handed it away post-flop.

Every not and then you will get unlucky and run into AK or KQ there, but if you don't bet out you'll never know. For example, you bet out 1/2 the pot there on the flop, you are putting pressure on him. If he flat calls, THEN you can think of slowing it down.

Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

And I totally agree. My flop and turn bet were PATHETIC. I should have at least put a $3 bet on the turn (enough, or not enough?) And then again on the river. When he checked the flop I should have tried to take the hand right then. I'm totally to blame for that hand.

Hand One: Raise preflop

Hand Two: 2/3s pot the flop.

Maybe wouldn't have changed the outcome too much but you can never be too sure.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1: Raise pre-flop, see what he thinks of his hand.
Hand 2: Funny spot. From an exploitation perspective, I like your post-flop play.
