I didn't have a read on any of these opponents really as I had only been at the table for 7 hands before this first hand. The one thing that I had noticed was that the table was playing super passive and there was almost no raising preflop and most hands were won after a single bet. I think there was only one hand that went to showdown while I was at the table and it didn't involve anybody in either of these hands.

This is hand number one:

Almost everyone was in the pot when it got around to me preflop and I just wanted to pick up the pot right there; I was surprised when I got two callers. When the A came on the flop I assumed that at least one of these guys had to have it to have called the big preflop raise.

My plan on the flop was to try to check and if neither guy bet then I would try to take away the pot on the turn. When the CO bet I was hoping that he was just trying to make a move and called with the plan of c/f'ing the turn if he bet at it again. Could I have found a fold when the SB called in front of me? What could he have been calling with?

I was very surprised to see both players check the turn. I didn't want to lead out because I figured the CO would come over the top of me and I would just have to fold anyway.

When the SB raises the river, do I call? He's been very passive the entire hand; was he seriously slow playing a single A this whole way? What do I do if the CO comes over the top behind me? It's a pretty small raise compared to the pot, but I'll be risking my whole stack if I get reraised.

Then two hands later this one comes up:

Normally, I would never play this hand, but I figured that being on the button at a very passive table might lead to an interesting spot. Should I just fold here?

On the flop I figure that I have to have the best hand when it gets checked around to me. There's no draws at all and I figure there's no way of me making anything more than the pot if I bet out here. Should I be leading out? I've heard that you should never slow play in the micro limits, but I figured this spot would be one of the exceptions for it.

On the turn I figured that the BB was just making a crappy move to steal the pot. I put MP1 on a 9 or a 2 and figure that the pot is big enough for me to win right here, hence the raise. I was completely stumped when MP1 came over the top of me, though. Is it possible that he just thinks his 9 is good here because of the weak flop play? Was he slow playing an over pair and thinks it's good now? Does he have a better Q than me? With these questions in mind, should I flat call the raise or do I just push now and try to get him to double me up?

Why do you call the flop with 2nd pair in hand one? One buy bets into two people, another one calls, and you think 2nd pair is good?

Hand two, ignoring preflop, you have to bet the flop. There might be some merit to checking if you were first to act, but you are the last one to act. Everyone already checked. Why would you check? Do you not like your hand? As for the turn, I dunno if you can really fold trips here 60bb deep.

I think second pair might be good. It's entirely possible that the CO is betting there just to steal the pot and the SB is calling with something like 99 or TT and thinking the same thing I am. I think laying down second pair to one bet on the flop at the these stakes is -EV.

I checked because I figured that I was either in a way ahead or way behind situation. Either someone has 22 or a better Q than me or there's basically no card that can come on the turn that beats me barring someone hitting a 2 outer. So I checked to induce someone trying to steal the flop on the turn or someone hitting something and thinking it was good.

If you don't fold on the turn, do you flat call or do you push over the top?

You messed up the flop line on each. The KK hand you can c/f or b/f the flop, but under no circumstances should you be calling a bet and an overcall. The Q8 hand, well, let's just say checking behind when closing the action and holding the (virtual) nuts is not... ah... optimal.

.

OK, just read more of the thread... Playing Q8 hand as WA/WB is fine, but that means you call down, not raise the turn. So either bet the flop or call the turn.

Are you kidding? You put in a big raise with KK and get two callers, and then on an A-high flop one of the villains bets and the other calls - and you think your KK is still good there?
