    hand1) Ok starting so dont mind the call pre, post flop i'm assuming you are bluffing as generally i wouldnt bet here what made you bet here? again on the turn dont understand betting out prefer check/ call

    both opponents didnt really have much but im not going to comment on them

    hand2) pre flop i wouldnt raise, flop good flop but only based on your flush draw other then that all you have is top pair, i thought you said you want to be playing with many draws? again probably prefer check/call not to inflate the pot before we hit our hand. on the turn i am quite wearty of two pair usually but your opponent is only representing a draw here so dont mind it going in here his stacks very shallow

    can i just say im suprised both the hands you have played here and how you have played them, there must be some reasoning on the opponents here?

    Hand 1) 
    I don't really understand your line here. You're leading on the flop into 2 opponents on a pretty dry board, I assume to try and take it down there. However there are a ton of cards that could improve you on the turn, I would prefer to check and try to get to that street as cheap as possible before re accessing. On the turn you only have an OESD, you had 2 callers on the flop, again I don't understand your line. I'm guessing its a blocking bet then you feel you're priced in, but I really don't like it.

    YG - As far as the players not having much, I think you're wrong in that assessment.
    unlucky obviously can't release his AA68 on flop but could think his gutter has value, which it does but by itself isn't enough. If he had a nut flush draw there as well then it would be ok. He gets his gutter on the turn so is not going anywhere.
    opponent has called pre on the button with Kd6d89 which is fine 4 handed. He's flopped top 2 and a gutter and he has position so I am definitely calling a flop bet there. He also hits the gutter on the turn and with a redraw to a boat has a very strong hand. 


    Hand 2)
    Raise is fine as you are opening on button. Like the flop bet and turn plays itself.
    I can only think your opponent was going for the low (?!!?) :oS
