This is in the last 2 days... brb after i hang myself

Yea i know, no strat in BBV, but you severely butchered those hands. A chimpanzee could have played them better.

obv 55 > AA

fold pre flop next time

Why are your preflop bets so small? Granted, you may have gotten called by the pocket fives even with a larger preflop bet, but you are not betting anywhere near enough to knock out good drawing hands here. I am surprised you do not have many more aces cracked hands shown here with people calling with suited connectors and such. Your preflop bet sizing is the first mistake you make in both of these hands.

And the first hand you should have gotten away from the moment your bet was raised on the flop. This is a relatively clear cut case here. If there was a king on the board maybe you can put him on TPTK, but it seems clear here that you are beat. Remember pocket aces are still just one pair. If you don't improve on the flop you need to be reading the board to see what might be beating you. This one was obvious imo. (Not necessarily that he had quads, but certainly that he had trips at a min.)

que?

WHOSE UR CAUCASIAN?
