WOW, what could I have done here? 1/2 NL FR PS

[Duckslayer2k]

I don't know if I just ran into really bad luck here or if I played it poorly. My profits for the entire night squandered on these two hands about 2 minutes apart right before I was going to quit...

Hand 1: In an un-raised pot I'm comming around to the concept you need to not want to play for stacks here in an un-raised pot without a nut flush against sane opponents.

Hand 2: It's fine.

Worry less about big pots.

I think it's silly to not play for stacks unless you have the nuts, you can usually play a king high or even a queen high flush like it's the nuts as well. But you need to be slowing down with an 8-high flush.

i call the turn on hand1. SOmethings not right.

In hand 2 i tend to check the flop and give a worse hand the chance to put some cash in behind on the turn. As played its fine though IMO.

Anybody like raising PF in hand one?

I do.

I agree. No reason to limp this hand without a bunch of limps in front of you. If you're going to play it, raise it. That way you get Axs and Kxs out.
