Ok... Hand one... first hand of the newly sessions... I wanted the nut flush with callers so bad that I forgot raising.I like totally overplayed the draw and in the end constructed a scenarion where I was getting enourmous odds to call with an obviously behind Top pair.Great... I can give something valuable to the community. Even if its just a "don't do as I do"-example.... ;-)PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)MP3 ($9.85)CO ($9.85)Button ($12.55)SB ($2.80)BB ($10.45)Hero ($10.70)UTG+1 ($1.85)MP1 ($10.25)MP2 ($9.85)Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, J.

Here we go hand twoI learned my lession to never ever ever ever ever ever open limp AJs early....So I trash raise another suited Ace this time... only it's really bad.I miss the flop and fire a continuation bet. When I hit the Ace I play it, but after I am called I assume to be behind.Easy fold on the river?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)SB ($10.20)BB ($12.45)UTG ($28.95)Hero ($18.35)CO ($4)Button ($13.35)Preflop: Hero is MP with , .

Totally. The valuable lesson is that both hands became so costly by bad preflop play in the first place.If I had raised the AJ, the Blinds (hopefully would have folded)If I hadn't got involved with A4s... nothing would have happend.As far as hand one goes... is the turn a good spot to simply call the 1$?

Raising PF in hand two isn't terrible.I dunno wtf made you bet $1 on the flop though

I was too successfull with contibets in that session I guess. Weird enough I wanted to rep an overpair--- weoenough he stuck around with AQ.Stats are getting "better" 18/12/5 currently... still not even getting hands 55+ often enough in late pos to steal the blinds.

It looks like you are working your way away from tight-weak. Throwing any pair from any position into your range will help you, imo. Go go go!

First hand: I don't understand the three bet on the flop being so small. If you want to move him off an AK, which seems to be the only real hand he raise/folds, I make a raise that he will fold an AK. I really don't understand the raise, though. If he has junk your ace is good, he doesn't fold small pairs at this stake IMO.As others have said, you could have really minimized loss on hand two by not potting the flop and keeping it small if you want to showdown your ace little.
