This was my turning point in the primo. I was about 4th at the time and blinds were low to my stack.
Should i have folded pre?, and could i have done anything different?
The hand later was a big one and when you see it you will see where i went wrong (will comment when i post it)

    hand 1) shove flop flush draw out there unless you think they have 10 10 or 2 with better kicker

    Hand 2) not imo, mainly due to only getting called by pp JJ+ unless there a bad player, re-raise then re-evaluate based on the player & flop if you see one

    Hand 1, i was against a player who out stacked me and was aware he could have been holding 10 10 or an over pair.
    If i shoved it would have been for my tournament so would you have folded JJ in that position against my shove?

    Thanks for replying as ive started to THINK more about my game.

    I went out of the primo about 15 outside the money which dissapointed me as id played well up to this point.
    After these two hands i lost to a player who hit the flop, managed to double up to 4k a few hands later as a short stak then
    on the button i shoved with 44 to a big blind with A9 hitting the river. I think i maybe should have folded the 44 and waited for a better spot as i was close to cashing and blinds were 300/600?

    Hi Major,

    It depends, personally i doubt i would have called pre. After that flop if you put him on 10s would not flat here would fold, could only fold with super read here though. I personally thought be unlikely someone just calls/checks with 10+ in this case they have but thats my way of thinking, only hand im worried about is A2 which would be incredibly unlucky otherwise only should get called by bare 10 and people with 2 diamonds on the flop imo.

    very well played btw 15 of cashing you are defo doing some things right. best of luck at the tables bud

    Hand 1: Fold pre, You have 23 - the worst hand in poker. As played raise and get the money in on the flop IMO, after he calls for that much he isn't folding. If you don't raise the flop, then shove the turn - he hasn't got the flush that much and you need to protect from/get paid for the 4th diamond falling, Also you can't fold trips here anyway just on the chance he's got a flush, so bet.

    Hand 2 - Well played unlucky. 

    Actually you were unlucky all round really :(

    omg im in a hand history desiplaying my expert folding skills yay.

    hand 1 i think jamming the flop is best, the person with JJ would never fold any Tx or better imo.

    hand2 is super standard and a huge cooler ul.
