First one I fold the flop and certainly fold the river.

I find them to be the nuts more than anything.

Second hand Im really only worried about 44. I probably just push the turn, it's not even a minraise to stick him all-in. He's commited and not folding AJ and under. The only two hands that can improve on you are AJ/AT.

2nd hand looks ok, but the first is a total fucking mess.

- Why did you double an UTG minraise with KJ?
- Why didn't you c-bet the flop?
- Why did you check-call the flop?
- Why did you bet the river?

These are just questions, not a set guide of correctness, but it'd be interesting to see what your response is.

bode is an unknown quantity at this point

hand 1: is gross. hopefully the min-raise was a misclick. just fold the flop also, no need to go any furthur there. As played i would fold the river.

hand 2: just raise the turn since villain has < min-raise behind

2) I almost never C-bet when there are 3+ poeple in the flop. Just because c-bet work beter against one or two players. or is this incorrect?

3) I guess this was weakness i should have either folded or reraised.

4) I bet the river because i thought he was reppng a ten and the reraise really messed me up.

Yea, dont like hand 1. I'd fold flop, people chase flushes enough for you to hate your club outs anyway and are you going to be able to make them pay enough to get there?

Also at 25 on stars I generally see very few AI bluffs when the flush hits, people generally just play their hand so I could fold here no problem. His semi-bluff could even have you beaten. I'm in UK so dont get to play at 'prime-time' often.

Hand 2. He might have AK, but he has Ax often enough that I push all in on turn.
