Check/fold the flop in the first one.Second one is fine. Pot's way too big to fold but a ton of hands beat you.

1st hand: I'm not sure what you're doing betting that flop. I understand that this is .50/1 PartyPoker, but someone must have a K. I really don't know what to tell ya about the turn. I like checking the river. The reason you check the river is because you're not bluffing out a better hand if he's as much of a calling station as you mentioned. Also, he's not going to call with a busted str8 draw. There is no value in the river bet.2nd hand: I dont like raising out of the BB with KQo, you usually should with KQs though. Definitely do not raise the turn, him capping the flop got you all the information you need, just call down.

I raise here with KQo all day, in loose-weakish games. Or tight games. Heck, I raise here all the time. What hands are liming that are ahead of you? AT? AJ? Oh well... but you've still got enough equity to raise the OTHER two bitch-ass limpers.I like the call on the turn. SB capped the flop, and on the turn you have to be quasi-wary of a flush draw from the crappy CO, maybe. I dunno how crappy he is. Whatever. The flop-cap could mean a few things depending on how the SB plays. But I'd probably raise the river when a safe card comes, depending on my SB read. Anyway, I don't hate the way you played it. Though there are a lot of people that totally overplay hands like A9 and AT in this situation. If SB is one of those, raise the river for sure, and probably the turn.Ice

yep..he over played everything, and would win a big pot once in a while as soon no one believed him.I'll need to develop a better sense and more balls to risk the extra bets against these kind of players. I thought to raise, but pussed out thinking "well if he 3-bets, then what?".It's the same reason I check/call instead of bet/fold..I never consider the chance my opponent might just fold a better hand, and I'd rather try to win/lose for one bet. I suck..I'm getting SSHE today, or ordering it at least.thanks
