Hand #1 i now see that i probably should have bet more, but i wanted to hear what you guys thought.
Hand#2 Normally this is an instafold but i look at history and see that he bet the same way three hands prior with the same bet sizes only to have the others fold...

Hand 1: If you're gonna bet, make it meaningful. At the $25 tables, you're getting no fold equity from a $1 bet into a $4.10 pot. I recommend $2.5-$3.00 here.

Hand 2: This is a scary situation. But with a bet this big and a caller in front, I'm inclined to dump this hand.

I agree with nat, but one thing I noticed is that you bought in short for these tables. Never buy in short, if you cant afford to play with a full buy in then move down in stakes.

Thanks for the advice, for superstitious reasons when i first start the night, both tables i start at 12/22 or 13/23. Usually doesnt take me long to get past the 25/50 mark. It has become a habit after one night starting off at both tables, i lost my AA and KK (3 hands apart diff tables) to players i had no read on and losing close to $50 before "getting warmed up". Thank you .
