How were these played?

On your AA hand, that is a pretty risky play. If you get called, you know your beat. It worked out but would not consider it a +EV play.

On your TT hand, that is also another reckless play. I think even more so than with AA. At least you had the best set, there are so many other hands that can beat your TT - your just lucky everyone in the hand had nothing. Once again, another -EV play IMO.

You seem like a pretty loose player - throwing your chips in the middle of the table like that....

Do you mean my bets were too big when the scare card hit like with 1010, table was real loose so thats why i made a big bet on turn probably 2/3 would have been better.

Actually QQ and JJ have odds to call here for the full house/quads if they put hero on the flush (AhKh/KhKx?). The same almost goes for our hero, he is like 2% short of pot odds to check call the turn bet. There is basically no way villain will fold a flush or a lower boat for 30$ more if for instance the 7s comes on the river, so the implied odds are there.

The only thing I can see villain folding on this turn after calling the flop is a low suited connector slowplaying a flopped flush, figuring he's drawing dead on the turn, or total air. Given that he opened for 5xBB UTG, I have no idea what he had.

I think this is actually a very tough hand and would love to see some discussion of it.

As for the other hand, I didn't bother looking at it. Use the converter, you'll get more replies.

you are betting waaaay too little on those flops

Pot the flop with AA. Pot's 40, you bet 15.

Bet less on turn with TT. Scaryyyy.

On the AA hand I want JJ/QQ/TPTK/2P to stick around on the flop. Potting it might make them push, might make them fold. I might try to c/r flop or turn AI, perhaps check-calling non-boat river if both other streets check through.

Edit: I probaby lead river for 2/3 pot if both other streets check through, he's calling with a JJJ/QQQ.

I'm ok with giving a free card to say TT/99 with a heart here.
