Hand #1- Raise more PF with 2 limpers in front of you or limp along for big hand value. All your PF raise did was sweeten the pot with A-hi.

The min. raise to your sizable flop bet has to tell you that you got action and for that reason, push after he raises. You have MP1 sandwiched and that sweetens the pot if for some reason you just take it down, but I'd be very surprised if they both folded. You could've slowplayed yourself into oblivion here and that's why I'd say taht you were a bit lucky.

At least call and push the turn to no heart. I've done that a lot and it's also a winning play.

Hand #2- lol @ the flop bet.

I like it though. 5 players see a flop in a healthily raised pot and you got action from 77-99 and JJ and AT and JT. I like it. nh.
