HAND #1
I mainly called here because villain had been getting out of line recently and I thought he could be doing this with any diamond. is this too loose of a call?

HAND#2
The fact that the villain in this hand sized up on the turn after getting two callers really screams nut flush to me. especially since he put in such a large percentage of his stack. but after turning that straight draw i just couldn't find a fold. should i be check raise jamming this turn?

Hand 1 I'd 3 bet bigger, probably to 15bbs hopefully to get UTG heads up. I don't feel good about calling here. Yea, maybe he shows up with, air but just because he's super loose prefolp doesn't mean he's just shoving post unless you had a good read. Even Ax,Kx hands have you crushed.

Hand 2 I'm folding the flop. Do you really want to play for stacks if you hit you straight when you could already be drawing dead to the flush. Your only decent outs there, assuming nobody has the flush already are the none spade 6's. If a none spade jack comes you're still losing to any queen. Plus Even 2nl fish might not pay you off on a 4 to a straight broad if you land your 6.

The first hand sucks, but I'd fold since the sizing is so big.

The second hand, I'd fold the flop. As played I'd fold the turn. As played I'd also fold the river.


That second hand is actually a pretty big blunder imo. That is the low end of a str8 draw on an already draw heavy board. You are likely drawing to a worse str8 and even if you hit you are likely to be up against a flush already.

On the flop of the second hand, the button's call should be an indicator that he could be drawing to a flush already which is likely to be higher than yours.
