    Default 2 Hands from a newbie

    I was wondering if Villan played these hands badly or if I just got lucky, new to 6max.

    Table was very passive giving up to my PFR, C-Bets, 2nd Barrels and River Bluffs, I hardly ever went to showdown.

    Did I play this one badly?

    -----Hand 2-----

    As soon as this guys paused then limped I was suspicious, then on flop I was 80% certain he had AA or KK, maybe QQ but I don't think he limps UTG with QQ.

    I don't like your push in hand 1 - looks suicidal to me - I just call and re-evaluate on the turn.

    Hand 1 is pretty meh. You have to at least call the flop with those stacks.
    If you call and he pushes the turn youll be getting 3.5:1 and needing about 20% equity. You'll probably have 10 outs and 20% equity so calling and "reevaluating" doesn't really do anything for us.

    So the decision is basically calling and hoping he checks the turn for a free river (in which case we are probably ahead already somehow) or pushing and hoping he folds TT (which he almost never does). I think you can buy yourself some cheap image and push.



    Hand 2 is a marginal but pretty cheap call preflop. The flop is fine with position and so much behind especially since you have a backdoor flush draw aswell. The turn plays itself. Your only mistake here was preflop, and if people are stacking off fairly easily in unraised pots then even that isnt a mistake.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
