i just stoved the 2nd hand, and there's no way i could call that turn all in...damn it, i called...i thought he was trying to push me off the hand.

looking at it now, i screwed up the flop and turn pretty bad too.

I don't mind hand 1, although I'm certainly crying by the river.

The minthreebet normally reeks of AA/KK/AK, but seeing as he could be tilting there could be all kinds of shit in his range.

Hand 2, why the flop call?

Hand 2, why the flop call?

i hesitated before i called. i really wished my nit mechanism kicked in.

i called because i was getting 6:1.

I call in 1 mostly because he's a shorty. They show up with all kind of junk here, you'd be surprised. I'm fine with paying off KK/AA.

Fold flop in hand 2.

Hand 1: Crying call. But you backed yourself into a weird decision. I raise flop to $18. Why are you playing so weak with an overpair and draws out there? Check/call seems like the worse line you can take.

Hand 2: With 3 people in the pot, I take the free card here. Cbet is expensive and it's often check/called in this situation.

You can't just look at the odds to hit one pair here. Yeah you're getting 6:1 but against what?
