HAND 1) $0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG jaadasme ($76.69)
CO Hero ($55.09)
BTN RRnopoker ($49.00)
SB bad boi ($77.44)
BB sandraaz ($64.97)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is CO

1 fold, Hero raises to $1.50, 1 fold, bad boi calls $1.25, 1 fold

Flop:

($3.50, 2 players)
bad boi checks, Hero bets $2, bad boi raises to $5, Hero calls $3

Turn:

($13.50, 2 players)
bad boi bets $13.50, hero ?

On this hand I really think I played it poorly. If I call on the flop to hit my ace or six on the turn I have to ship it in at this point. Once the ace of diamonds hit I was frozen because of the size of his bet and also the flush that it completes.

HAND 2)
$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG Hero ($68.84)
CO RRnopoker ($49.00)
BTN bad boi ($67.32)
SB sandraaz ($66.72)
BB jaadasme ($50.00)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is UTG

Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, bad boi calls $2, 2 folds

Flop:

($4.75, 2 players)
Hero bets $3, bad boi calls $3

Turn:

($10.75, 2 players)
[color=#cc0000][b]Hero ?

My question on this hand is whether I should check on the turn out of position to see a free card, and plan to check/raise if he bets the turn.

hand1: I fold this to his flop raise, as played I fold turn too, he seems to want to play for stacks and I think our hand is worse than his a lot.

hand2: easy second barrel OOP. I bet around $7 expecting he folds some of his range too. c/r isn't totally bad but I'd need some reads for it. almost never just c/c here.

btw. it would be nice if you included any reads as well, since they can have a huge impact on the playing decisions.

XTR1000 is an unknown quantity at this point

A6- I usually check this back, as hes likely to cr this board and we have some Sd value. you have to fold to the raise on flop.

KT- Easy fold preflop. As played turn is an awesome double barrel.
