    Default Two questions..

    For the first hand, I felt after like I missed the chance to maybe double up. Is this an easy push? Was I playing too conservative?

    For the second hand, I should lay this down here....right? It's a great chance to move up in position. While the original raiser ends up not calling, did I make the right call?

    if #1 is 1200 more to you to win ~7k there you should have insta called with any 2 cards. you need to call there lol

    #2 is an easy fold. no need to get involved there and your hand isnt good against 2 players or even 1 player for that matter. you can get much better spots

    JKo unless I'm reading it wrong, #1 he raises to from 2.4k to 33k. Not 3300

    Umm, yeah, if you even considering calling this bet (in isolation), then you are way too loose.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Have to agree, there...wouldn't be raising Kd9d on the button...a call to see how the land lies, maybe, but not a raise.

    That's an incredibly easy raise on the button there.
