    Default did I play this ok?

    I did a minbet postflop to make it seem i was drawing/hit top pair, needless to say, it worked this time.

    1 - min bet is terrible, there are way too many draws out. You need to pot this.

    2 - call on flop is very thin. I would rather raise or fold.

    yeah i thought about the draws but was hoping I put them away with the preflop raise.
    on the second hand it seems like everytime i reraise someone they push over on me but i shoulda raised it anyway, i'll try that next match

    Preflop raise to 140.

    On this flop, you need to make a continuation bet so that it at least looks like you're betting AK. What really sucks here of course, is that it's unlikely this pot hit anyone, except for the draws of course (diamonds and straight). I would think that a 1/2-2/3 pot sized bet here is warranted. Expect to see one call or none of course. Realize that the ace now is potentially a scare card. So if it comes, be sure you get that guy to push it in first.

    This doesn't look like weakness. It looks like feinting weakness. This play might work if he had QK, a better player would call your min-bet and call a small or fold to a large river bet. This only worked because the other player is terrible.

    yeah, the weak lead bet works well against a guy who sees weak is weak, not weak is strong, so nice play here.

    the QT hand I fold pre-flop. I certainly don't call on that flop. As drmcboy says, I probably fold, with raising my 2nd option.

    The AJo hand is very likely a leak in your game due to position. I know you have 58 BBs behind, but you just can't call a raise and play a big pot with this hand very well OOP. So, you are either only winning a small pot or losing big pots with this hand here on average.

    you can't just bet limped pots with inside straight draws... you are losing a tremendous amount of mullah over time doing so.

    Inside straight draws suck.
