A couple of hands for your inspection here.

I know I played this first one horribly; I guess I was putting him on AQ. I'm just wondering how horrible it was. Was it marginal, or am I way behind? Both the Villians here are new to me, no reads, no data.

1) You put him on AQ even though the flop had no A or Q on? When he calls the flop bet he probably has a J or a lower pocket pair. When an A comes and he raises he doesnt have a lower pocket pair. (maybe a flush draw I guess).

2) I play it the same.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

People are cold calling, and calling a c-bet with nice looking overcards way too much at this level, but yeah, I sucked there.

Maybe, but unless you have specific reads I don't think they are raising a turn without something > AK

 hand 1 is def. a fold on the turn. As played, if you really think he has a worse ace just push over the turn because you leave nothing behind for a river bet.

hand 2 is super standard.
