Hi All,
As you may have noticed, I have started to post some hands recently, some of my questions may seem basic, but, I do not have anybody I can talk to, other than the forum about these and I am trying to improve my game, so any advice or tips are very much appreciated.
The following two hands were in A £5.50 Mini UKOPS BH last night. Normally I would fold both hands, especially if it was not a BH, however, recently I have been wondering if I am playing too passively, I have seen some remarkable calls which have gone on to win , so, I took some time last night before calling the first one, it was not a massive dent to my stack and I thought I would have straight and possible flush opportunities to take the bounty, as well as hoping to have two "live" cards, I think it was right to call, what do you think?
The second hand I raise under the gun rather than flat calling, which I thought was correct, then faced the shove, this was for a large portion of my stack and on reflection, I think I should have folded . Again any thoughts?
I am also unsure why the second hand has not been reproduced the same as the first.

Second hand is a little trickier. You only have 15/16bbs so shoving isn't bad. On Sky with zero antes though I can get behind min raising, only if the other stacks on the table have you covered - we can then fold if they're on the tighter side and they jam, and call off against anyone shorter than you. If no other stacks have you covered this is a fairly easy shove pre imo. Once you min raise and get the shove from cleverkev with 7bbs you should be high fiving all your mates before calling
You have to post the hands seperately, on different posts. I'm not techy so I don't know why, but if you post 2 hands on a single post, the second one always comes out incomplete. Obviously down to the software.
(On Chrome that is)
GOOD LUCK
