first hand... I honsetly think after looking at it that I folded to an over pair or a underset ... but that board was so fucking ugly taht my balls shrivled up... waht do you gusy think?

I think he has the straight here a fair amount of the time actually.

Honestly, I think they're both played fine. You'd need a real good read to play either any different. In hand 1, if the board pairs you'ld take his stack, same with 2.

Why did you push the 2nd hand?
