    Hand 1, because your not closing the action its a fold pre.

    Hand 2.  Always peeling flop.  But B/fing maybe c/cing river.  Board runs out yuk.  Only really beating JQ/J10, which wont call in any case.

    hand 1 is a fold because villain is far too tight for this call oop to ever be worth it in the long run.  also neither winner or boyler will pay you off light so the value with this type of hand is much lower

    hand 2 i would be far more tempted to call because of who is raising. 

    with the hands you are posting it looks like you need to look closer at the ranges you are attibuting to regs when they play back at you.

    Thanks for the advice my friend. I haven't played much with either Boyler or Winner or Britrock from other post as I'm a newbie at NL50 but I'm learning a painful lesson. TBH there's probably more value in me sticking at NL30/40 where villains will pay off light. There's some easy money to be made at NL50 at weekends but through the daily grind unless theres 1 or 2 fish at the table its pretty tough to make money as fast even though limit is higher.

    Now off to do my lines.."I will tighten my range at NL50,I will tighten my range at NL50..."
