    Weak sauce. First hand I call and reevaluate on flop. 2nd hand you need to bet flop, or go for a c/r. If you're folding that river, fold the flop. But I advocate betting both.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    hand 1 is a tricky spot cause he's so short. I think push/fold preflop.

    hand 2 bet flop. and, i'm not folding to his weiner bet on the turn either.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    i actually thought he was drawing to 2 outs on the flop...but he hit one on the turn

    slow motion
    hand 1: i call the reraise. with his stack size, he could very well have a med. PP 88-JJ.

    hand 2: no way im folding to a <1/3 pot bet. reraise to $15
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    1) At Paradise 50NL, absent any reads saying the guy's a non-idiot, I'd probably shove with AK against a shortstack. People do that shit there with PPs down to 66 and all other kinds of Ax.

    2) Bet flop

    Hand 2: Think about the range of hands villian reraises with. In all likelihood that was a great flop for you. Bet it hard. As played, there's no way I'm folding that turn. You've most likely got the best hand, and you've got the gutshot as well.

    1) Without any reads I push over his re-raise. If he's super-tight (like a few shortstacks I know on Party) I probably fold here.

    2) Lead the flop. If he raises your lead then you can slow down. I think you're good here though.

    Hand 1 - I fold the re-raise without a read as you did
    Hand 2- Bet or Check Raise the Flop
    (In this case you just called & his small turn bet indicates weakness,
    I don't fold here.)

    hand1.

    i have notes saying opp is a bit fishy but thats on a small sample. I might push and gambOOl here it depends if my notes are right.

    Hand2.
    Not sure on this, opp unknown even to me. Id have bet this flop as played but we only beat KK or we're splitting by the turn. I think your turn play reflects how you played the flop but id have bet the flop knowing i could hard hit the turn and fold to real strength if i think too many preflop reraise hands have me smoked on the turn.
    btw, ive seen AJ turned over here too so so much for reads...
