    Default Newbies get lucky too

    Critique if there is something to critique but mostly I just wanted to say that it is nice to get lucky.
    I only played these hands because I am playing suited and connectors for flush/straight potential.

    A3s is questionable preflop, it's a close decision on both the initial limp and calling behind all of the cold callers to the preflop raise, so I don't mind your play at all.

    Second hand is well played.

    It's a rush when you hit those hands - lol.

    I would play that first hand the same way, because with all the callers, you have good odds for your 6 cents in a multiway pot. The flopped flush means you didnt have to worry about what to do if you would have ended up on a draw there.

    The second hand - what can you say?! Its a beautiful thing.

    i agree, first and second hand are good. i think that once you move up, stop playing axs unless the game is really loose. IMO flushes don't hit/pay enough to make it worth playing.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    hand 1 had the odds to play because it was only 3BB to get the 9BB in the pot + if MP would call. Plus the implied odds are good because you're drawing to a nut.

    hand 2 is a very good blind war hand. Villian should fold the river because an pocket pair beats him + your 5, but let's not tell him that shall we
