    i like bigger flop reraise in hand 1

    First hand makes no sense. You bet and reraise with a draw, but check once you actually hit your hand? This guy has shown a willingness to put money in the pot, why would check-minraise this turn? Lead out or check-raise all-in (I much prefer leading out).

    Second hand, bet more on the flop. Otherwise it plays itself.

    Your style looks extremely easy to play against. You play weak hands fast and strong hands slow (at least initially). Try to be less transparent.

    How often do you reraise these hands preflop? What if they come back over the top preflop - you let it go?

    97s I'm folding calling a small reraise looking to hit a huge flop vs an opponent I think might give up his stack on a high PP, otherwise I'm folding PF.

    KTs I'm just folding PF to a strong reraise.

    Ignore my post. My connection is very slow and jumpy and in between reading the hands, getting distracted and posting I thought you reraised both preflop which seemed strange to me.

    First hand bet more on the flop and put in a real 3-bet or call the minraise (depending on opponent obv). As played, I really hate your turn line. Just bet out. The last thing you want to do is have the turn go check/check and the river pairs the board and you bet and get raised.

    Second hand, bet more on the flop, and maybe 3-bet a little more. Pokerpete is pretty damn nitty, so you really want to charge a set here.

    Downswinging holla!
    Hand 1 bet the flop bigger here, and don't make such a small three bet. Either call or reraise bigger imo. After you turn the flush I'd lead again, or c/r ai. The turn check min-raise made me throw up in my mouth a little.

    Hand 2: Bet more on the flop, reraise bigger and then shove a blank turn. If the board paired I'd really be worried too and consider giving the hand up, especially vs a nit.

    Good tips, thanks. I realized I played the KTs VERY poorly.

    Here are the results although they don't matter.

    First one is ouch!
