A few more hands for review.

Hand 1=Felt like this hand played itself, but you tell me....I doubted he called with A4, but then again, he could have.

Hand 2=An example of why you shouldnt let the BB play for free.....but did I play this right. Should I have just bet the flop harder since my Two pair was very vulnerable?.....the only thing I was worried about at the time was the board pairing, was that the right thinking?

1- Yep.

2 - Everything here is standard until the river where you should bet less to try and get a caller. You asked if you should have bet the flop harder - you bet the pot, that's plenty big.

Standard

-'rilla

I would have also been worried about a small set of 3s, Js or 8s.
Another good reason for a smaller bet at the river.

yeah i think a smaller bet on the river of hand 2 would be wise. probably get more money out of them that way.
