Pardon me but I dont know how to use the Hand Converter lol... Ihave to input this manually.

HAND 1

Seat 2: chewbaka8 ($12.76 in chips)

I know I played this terrible. Any thoughts? Maybe I should have raised the flop to be able to easily fold on the turn?

What do you think of the turn call? I just flat called because I know I have both of them beat and i wanted "bigbudda" to call. Had I raised "bigbudda" would have folded. On the other hand, I think I should have raised AI on the turn. It was a scary board, 2hearts, 2 diamonds and a possible straight. What you think?

On both hands you need to learn to protect your hand a LOT better.

Hand 1, you figure to have the best hand, and there is a flush draw out... I raise the flop, and the turn, but folding to a push.

Hand 2... raise at least to $2, I'd probably do 3, on flop. The turn... why are you cold-calling?? Could this board look any more menacing to trip 5's? They are most likely on a draw- raise to take it down NOW. If they've turned a straight, then they'll most likely let you know.. but then you can slow down accordingly, folding if they 3-bet, or block-betting the river if they call. As it is, you're playing the hand as a semi-bluffer's dream villain.

Thanks.. terrible plays explains why Im playing at these limits lol.. Agree with you on raising the flop on Hand1 and shoving the turn on Hand2

here are the results:

Hand 1

Snowdog1 bet $5.97, collected $11.79, net +$5.82 (showed hand) [ Th Ah ] (two
pair, aces and tens)
chewbaka8 lost $5.97 (showed hand) [ Jh Ad ] (a pair of aces)
msal25 didn't bet (folded)

I guess I really should have raised the flop and just fold to aggresion on the turn.

Hand 2

chewbaka8 bet $9.72, collected $21.39, net +$11.67 (showed hand) [ Kc 5c ]
(three of a kind, fives)
bigbudda lost $2.85 (showed hand) [ 3c 7c ] (two pair, sevens and fives)
bigmoney9 lost $9.72 (showed hand) [ Tc Th ] (two pair, tens and fives)

Hand 1: No idea. I can kind of understand calling, but it's very tough to figure out where you stand, especially on an escallating pot. Villian's bet on flop signifies that his stack is going in one way or another. Do you want to risk 50bb on TPGK? (Against some maniac players, it could be fine). It's either a KK he can't lay down, or he has you smoked. I'm not a gambler (without great reads), so I'd fold the flop. A reraise is about the same as a push.

Hand 2: Turn call is really bad. I can understand if it were a 9/T/J, but the 4 fills some OESD (6/8 for instance) and a 45 FH. If you were to reraise to $4, would you fold to a push from bigmoney? I wouldn't worry about buhdda, he only has $1.10 left and was pushing regardless of your bet.

Both hands are tough because the pot got big so quick that you were basically obligated to call any raises. (In both cases with good,but not great hands).
