Flush Problems

Varience? I dont think im playing these wrong but wouldnt mind some reassurence. flushes are screwing me over lately.



I think I lost the least I could have but do you play for stacks here? Table is pretty loose passive. No specific reads on Villain.

Loose Passive table. Put one of the Villains on the A . Should I have slowed down with 2 callers? Surely not...?

Bad luck.

Although the first hand is a really easy flop bet.

Yea looking at that first hand again im not too sure why I didnt bet out... or why I called such a big bet.

When you bet that flop is it a potsize semibluff?

also Hand 1 do you get it allin on the river? Once he raised me on the river I thought there was a good chance he had the Axs.
