some way overdue glory for me after a week of unbelievable suckouts & such. also, would like to welcome some hand analysis/critique. help patch up whatever play leaks you find from these hands, how you would've played it & why, etc, etc. i know it's only a couple hands, but whatever advice you can offer would be great input & appreciated.


btw: on this hand, i misclicked the wrong button on the turn & that's why there's that odd $0.50 bet there when i wanted to bet bigger to protect my hand against the draw.

& this one... how would you guys have played it? the reason i overbet the pot was because i had a pretty loose/aggressive table image @ the time & i wanted it to seem like i was trying to buy out the pot & hoping someone w/ a piece of the board would call. & also, to make it too expensive for anyone to go on their flush draw @ the same time.
