Hand 1 : Why did you muck the winning hand? Your shove on this hand was OK assuming villain was a bit loose. Know his stats?

Hand 2: You had the nuts on the flop. It was 100% fine to commit to this hand here. Nothing to analyze.

is this live where you can muck the winning hand lol?

Also, why are there two As in the deck?

Why did you fabricate these hands? It's much easier to just convert them. I am going to make some assumptions and see if I'm right.

The flop in the first hand was Ax with Qs and 5s wasn't it? I figure because that way you would have lost the hand on the river and you're being too results oriented. I mean it's clear you typed it down so you've made some mistakes, including the BB "raising" a check in the second hand but I'm right about the flop being two spades right?

Having said that; hand 1 is just about as standard as it gets. You have top two pair and with he'll very often have a hand just like the one he has now and you want to get the money in. Buy in for 100bb though, you're on 60bb for some reason and rake alone will eat you up as shortstack.

Second hand, the raise on the flop is really bad and you just clicked a button. There are so many people in the pot and so many ways for them to connect and have outs against you that a 20%pot-raise is just a big leak. Make it like $0,20 or even bigger if you prefer, this way you get no money in the pot and you also signal you have a big hand to everyone. Again, you're probably only posting because you lost the hand and therefor you must somehow have done something wrong. Now although I hate the small flop raise it's really tough to argue against getting the money in on the turn as a huge favorite so just because the river happened not to be good means nothing.

sorry, but why post these hands?? sure they werent played great and all, but you got allin both times as big fav to win.....just remember that unless you are 100% fav, you can even lose against the odd 1out draw



Hand 1: you start with less then 100BB (bad). the rest is standard (you are ~65% fav to win the hand)

Hand 2: you arent playing LIMIT, you can make a real raise on the flop. Either raise bigger (which is the way to go imo) or call behind if u must. But the minraise is just bad.
somehow you still got it in as nearly 80% fav......what are u asking exactly?
