    Default 2 hands, 50NL

    Hand 1) villain is 17/10 and his range is pretty much only pocketpairs and I think he has me nailed but I'm not "fold AA at 50NL sure". How'd I play it?

    Hand 2) villain is 24/20, pretty aggressive. His range after my reraise is still fairly large, but to be honest I think thats a shitty board for AK and we're deep. Howd I play it?

    This sounds like a very good idea. Maximize against weaker overpairs, protect against draws. Don't fold.

    I guess when you posted hand one you weren't really looking for any advice or other ways to play it, you were just looking for "you play good" types of replies?

    You ask for advice, you receive it, then you say it's not good advice and don't give a reason why. Awesome.

    I'd post my own thoughts but why bother?

    You seem to have some issues with reading comprehension or maybe you just don't like me, either way, lets let a week go by where you dont rag on atleast one of my posts needlessly, k? Thanks

    Others:
    Why push the flop if as I posted in the OP, "his range is pretty much only pocketpairs and I think he has me nailed" I was really looking for an excuse to fold my AA here. Is just calling through alright? Obv the river is a great card for me, but if it was a rag..?

    dud eupho, UG is kinda right. The only real advice to give on this hand is to raise somewhere, specifically the flop, and u dont want to take it. I mean that's fine just dont bother posting the hand if u dont even want to give reasons for the advice.
    The thing is, TT and JJ have a lot of scare cards and u want to build a pot because u have the best hand here more often than not. Nor am I going to make the assumption that he always has a set here. What about T9 and 98?

    Hand 2 a is pretty retarded turn bet because the only hand he's folding ur beating and the only hands he's calling ur losing too, so just check it down.

    Both are fine. Raising the turn is prob better than calling in hand 1 though (at this point you're looking to get it in if he has some combo draw).

    What do you on the river if it's a 7s in hand 1?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    you have to raise somewhere in hand 1. There are 2 obv. draws and it looks like he likes his hand. I would be more inclined to raise the turn.

    hand 2 is pretty standard.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.
