Hey guys!
Here are some hands from tonight that seemed like good examples in regard to this matter. I've been trying to tighten up my play with top pair, because i think it really is one of my major flaws. Please let me know if you think i made good decisions in these hands and if there is absolutely anything i could improve on. Thanks!
