    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    Hand1: Why do you check the river?
    Hand2 looks fine to me. Don't pay too much attention to the donkbets, just do what you did.
    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

    Hand 1: if he had a draw he missed and won't pay you off
    if he has AQ you're beat
    if he has any combo above A9 he improved
    if he has A3 he improved
    you're only getting bets from A8,A7,A6,A5,A4,A2 which is 6x8 combos = 48
    the following hands have you beat:
    AK,AQ,AT,A9,A3,KT,K9,QJ = 6 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 59
    I think K3 doesn't call a turn bet because he is afraid of the ace

    so more comboes beat you unless we assume someone is calling you down with a pair of kings, but I wouldn't assume that without a read
    there's also the possibility that he limped TT

    all in all, I like your play

    hand 2, UTG+1 has 50BB so you have to stack off with top pair

    I felt like I played them both decently, but I keep running into people who are limp calling with good starting hands instead raising them.

    It makes me feel like I am taking crazy pills. Everytime I seem to identify someone who does this, another one comes along, and I don't know how to spot it.

    If I were dumber I would start thinking that I should be raising with junk and just flatting with Aces. That way I can call small bets with a good hand, and call HUGE bets so I can hit two pair! Yay!

    himself fucker.
    You're taking crazy pills, they're obviously limping only the top of their range!

    I'd agree with Hand 2

    I'd raise more on the turn to chase away the draw and definitely raise on the river.

    if there is someone who like to play with a hand like 5 , 6 same color?

    With hand 1: I've seen people in 2nl call bets like yours with a pair of kings and A8 and below. It seems like at that limit people love to call with any ace then hold on to TPLK. If he had you beat, I'm guessing he would have bet the river.

    For 2nl these hands are played fine IMO. I might make a small value bet on the river just to squeeze out a few extra cents but other than that I think ur good.

    Hand 2: Was played good. Like iopq said if the guy is that short you gotta stack of with TP.

    Hand 1: very good

    Hand 2: I'd raise more flop but it's fine as played and I agree with getting it in on the turn.
