    Default 50NL - 2 hopefully painfully standard hands

    Hand 1: Villain was 25/5. This was the first time I played back to a raise because he was so tight. I want to say most of the 5 range came from him on the CO/BTN.

    Button ($32.95)
    Hero ($38.80)
    BB ($19.85)
    UTG ($52.40)
    MP ($50.20)
    CO ($48.40)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, Q.
    2 folds, CO raises to $1.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $5, 1 fold, CO calls $3.50.

    Flop: ($10.50) 9, 6, 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $7.5, CO raises to $43.4, Hero calls $26.30 (All-In).

    Hand 2: nothing significant about villain here, except he's a shorty.

    Button ($40.80)
    Hero ($81.65)
    BB ($10.20)
    UTG ($57.15)
    MP ($28.95)
    CO ($51.10)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K.
    1 fold, MP raises to $2, CO calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $8, BB raises to $10.2 (all-in), MP raises to $16.2, CO folds, Hero raises to $71.5, MP calls $12.75 (All-In).

    This is a 4bet, and a min-4bet at that. Is this ever not AA? At this point I'm essentially risking $20 to win $50. If he had pushed I would call in a second, but I feel he has tipped his hand.

    First one you could maybe find a fold there with that guy's stats. You know the board didn't help him. I don't know if I could lay it down either.

    Second hand, well, it's almost always AA....but gotta do it I guess.

    Tough beats.

    Hand 1 looks like a fold to me.
