    Default 50NL A Couple Hands Where I Bluff With the Best Hand?

    Villain is 50/13/1.5 over 8 hands. Looking back on this first hand, it looks pretty spewy. It's weird though, I seem to do better when I'm more aggressive instead of just check folding in these spots. Still, maybe this is a horrible spot to not giveup?

    My first reaction when looking back at this second hand is that it looks spewy. On the other hand, check folding seems so weak. Villain is 17/10/1 over 59 hands.

    I like the bluff on the first hand...nice play but the second hand I am not so sure.
    Very risky IMO but again, nice play...hopefully they keep folding (I probably would have check folded instead of shoving.. lol)
