Turn: ($16) 5 (3 Players)
Hero bets $5

This is bad dude. He's got SIXTEEN outs, he only needs 1.7:1 on the call if he doesn't get ANY more from you on the river, and you offer him over 4 to 1. Same thing for the flop reraise, you aren't charging draws nearly enough with that reraise.

Second hand, raise the flop. If that turn bricks off with a 3 or something and he fires again, you're totally screwed. Get it in on the flop where you can take it down without a showdown or get it in and be flipping at worst.

Hand one. When you flop two pair in the blinds it can be scary. I've lost quite a bit that way. Your hand has to be protected there. If your villain had AQ he's picked up extra out against you, as a 9 will give you the same two pair and he'll outkick you. You're likely ahead there, as QQ and JJ are unlikely in a limped pot and you have a Q and a 7, making those sets a little less likely. If I flop top/bottom pair in the blinds I always try to take the pot immediately, and I would have bet the pot or a little more there. The reraise is good for 1 villain, but with two I'd go a little more there as well.

The turn card is just so much ass. You're oop, the $5 bet tempts someone to come over the top because they still have room to think they can push you off. I bet at least 3/4 here to try to take it down again, but it will be interesting to hear what other people would do because it's just a nasty situation.

The river I wouldn't have reached, either having taken it down or being all in or as close as makes no odds. But there, man, what's he calling with? As it turns out he's a muppet.

The turn on hand 1 is fucking atrocious.

The flop on hand 2 is fucking atrocious.

Hand 1, the turn is pretty gross (what do you hope to accomplish with your tiny bet?), but I'd say even worse is the river shove. I like c/c or c/f much better on the river.

Hand 2, why did you call with a drawing hand in position? Why do we EVER call with drawing hands in position? So we can use our positional advantage. Gotta play it aggressively on the flop.

Ship the turn hand 1. Raise the flop hand 2 (and shove if he 3bets).

I <3 CO in hand 1.
