first hand was horrible, you hand is junk, with 76s that call is justifiable. second is better but a so-so hand because he only has 60% of full stack, with full stacks I call if you have confidence in your post flop play. Here is an example of a loose call OOP I thought I would post in the high stakes section but I will post it here too..

Playing out of the box can be profitable but you shouldnt be overdoing it. Also I believe it is more profitable in ring because the stacks are normally deeper thus giving you more implied odds thus it is more profitable to play hands with hugh implied odds such as small PP's and SC's and gappers.

The call PF is loose but I could let these go if I didnt hit, he was raising quite a lot PF and we had a history of playing back at each other and he was really aggressive. Nothing special really but playing hands like these strong are something to add to my normal arsenal, against arsenalfca
