2 AQ hands. Where am I supposed to fold?

1. Villain is unknown. I just sat an orbit or two ago and he's opened a lot of pots.

Sorry Fnord and UG, i didn't get a chance to ask him his social, zipcode, and date of birth prior to the hand.

Hand 1 if u dont fold turn dont fold river either. folding turn is probably best but its close
Hand 2 river is a definite fold

^^^^ I fold when I get that sick feeling. I get it in both of these spots, although I probably talk myself out of it in hand 1.

calling #2 down was bad bad bad though

Knowing the potsize on each street would be helpful, and I dont feel like doing math when reviewing.

Can I convince you to start converting hands?

No, you really really can't.

I post hands while playing generally, and when the converter fucks up all ins i go on tilt and lose two stacks. DO U WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT OUTCOME?

Paste them into notepad, then convert them all at once at the end of your session.

imo both hands don t really matter that much (i.e. frequency you're beat relative to pot odds = neatral ev)

hand 1 can't fold to brick on river if you call turn

hand 2 your hand is underrepresented so tough to fold

In general, I suggest you start mixing in some flop checks when you flop tptk or medium overpair (i.e. QQ on 10-high board). Maybe at nl100 opponents are too donkish to notice but this will earn you free cards in later hands and keep your 1-pair hand WA/WB pots small for now.

EDIT : I just remembered a hand where you suggested I lead the turn and fold to a raise w 1010 on an 8 high board. I think that would be a very good line to take in hand 2.

I have been playing badly too, so feel free to rip this:

Hand 1 I would three bet flop and fold to a push.

Hand two I think I could find a fold on the river to QK/89.

Hand 1: I fold turn, but I would probably fold flop against Vixxwater. He gets real aggressive when he plays postflop. I think he has a str8/2pair here. I think its better to find a better spot with him than TPTK if hes firing back at you.

Hand 2: I think he floated your flop bet with AK/AJ, he tried to take it down on the turn when you checked, and then hit the river.

stack off in 1 on turn. Board demands it i think. Probably ~ev depending on if opp will 2 barrel a worse hand/draw oop.

hand 2, make a blocking bet and fold to a raise. Maybe even just c/f considering you beat nothing but QJ and a missed 54.

I really think on Hand 1 his Rising sign would make a big difference.

This is from someone who can't handle $100NL, but: hand one looks like THE clearest way-behind hand it's possible to get. The reason people think it's unfoldable is because the villain gets his bets right throughout. Good game to him; I like cardsman's 3-bet flop/fold to push option myself, but calling the turn and river just seems like madness.

Hand 2 I would find easier to call, but not much easier. He's repping KQ, it looks like KQ, he's probably got KQ, maybe AK. I'm folding this without knowing his rising sign.
