hand 2 - easy call with ur stack (but you dont have too)

hand 1 - OMG - erm what!

the easiest way to get  the point across here is to tell you "always have a plan"

Why did you min 4 bet? (was possibly the worst of all your options)  - what where you going to do if he min 5 bet?

as played I fold

I would have flatted the min 3 bet - and played the smallest pot possible on that board. Called at least 1 street -  hope to show down

Hand 1 - I'm not a big fan of calling the 5 bet with tens.  I'd either shove of flat the 3 bet.

Hand 2 - Pass the flop

the bet isn't an allin - its a huge overbet, but only 1/4 of villains stack.  So I fold this time and try to get into as many pots as poss with villain.

hand 1 wtf are you doing - betting for info? bluffing? value betting? Do you finally call to hit a set?  

[  ]  i read these things well

hand 2 is a fold then

only bets 238000. wtf   surely im missing somet here . ??????  maybe he mistyped his bet. sigh fold

Hand 1 - I really don't like the double-raise 4bet. Flatting his 5bet, you are set-mining, which you don't have chips to do. You obv have to fold now...but should have folded to his 5bet, before that you should either flat his 3bet or perhaps make a bigger 4-bet.

Hand 2 - You have to fold. Most likely he has a King with no spade or 2 overs and a flush draw. If the 2nd is a best case scenario there's no point in playing for stacks.

Hand 2 to me looks like a misstype, jam.

Hand 1 is surely a joke.

So what was he trying to type - "check"?

first off thanks to everyone that has replied to my posts in recent days

my game is/was so dated and wasnt working 3 betting light and betting 2.5x bb just werent in my game
last night they got me into good postion in all 5 comps i played (2 not for long) and cashed in 3
going out with jacks in all 3 against 55 TT and KK while in healthy postions


hand 2 looked so much like either a K with no spade or a spade and no pair there was a time i would have risked it all
after all i am playing to win not to ladder but i bottled it and passed

hand 1 i had been stealing for fun and getting very little resistance, when i did meet resistance i was folding, this time i had a hand (i thought) so went for the 4 bet but missread the amount i think i should of been betting,when he 5 bet i was lost intoo far thinking is this a hand flushy would be swinging arm in air and jamming or folding then suddenly time was running out and i still haddent made up my mind so went for the "safety first action" and called (yeah safety first is fold you idiot ironside) then on the flop i though i would represent a strong hand and that i would get a few hands better than me to fold guess what he didnt fold his AA and the hard work building the stack slowly went in 1 brain fart. as you can see from hand 2 i was able to pick the chips up again, this was without getting into any major pots so seemed like a spew of chips when there was no need

I was thinking more 23800 but it became 238000

Hmmm ok but he cld have gone click click on the slider and bet 28k or 2 3 3 3 3 to type in the bet much more easily.  I think hes gone omg big hand (prob pair and flush draw) woohooo lets get the whole fckin lot in on the flop.

edit - also noticed that 23800 is 17 times min bet so don't think he's typed that he's used the slider

Hand 1 eww...
Hand 2 fold...
