When he raises i was putting him on AJ+/QQ+ . The raise to me screamed like overpair. Ive been caught like this far too many times so I was wary of stacking off. Looking back now, I fear he may have been doing it to get a bigger ace to fold or a flush draw to fold. Unfortunately I"ll not know what he had.

Marty719:
Hand 1 is fine.  Id recomend having auto top-up on as u will be losing value in the long-term. 

Hand 2.  Again top up.  Don"t like the flat oop readless.  3b or fold pre.  As played, one of the few reasons I would donk this flop w/ ur hand would be to induce vs aggro opponents.  In general tho, I think b/f"n tpgk on a wet board is a mistake.  As played w/ 50x to start, I"m more than happy to get it in here.

WYoung83:
hand 1 standard.
Hand 2 i really hate the peel. Just fold, i dont think you are deep enough for a 3 bet (or i personally wouldnt) Once u hit i would rather check shove. Why did u donk bet? was it to find out where you are at? This is a leak if you donk bet in cash games. Obviously there are times when you can get agressive players to bluff raise because it looks so fishy. anyway, doesnt make much sense to fold now. In micro cash games i see players donk bet all the time, and i just raise it and usually take it down there and then.

AAroddersAA:
Hand 1 - is simple on that board, you beat so many other Ax hands that you just want to get it in, people will call you with top pair here often enough to make a good profit. Your equity is not that bad against his actual hand either.

Hand 2 - As played I probably get it in, which is probably wrong as I doubt he is raising pre and then raising our donk bet with much we beat but we only have 50BB and when we hit top pair good kicker we don"t really have much option. I would fold pre out of position though.

deanp27:
Probably just keep calling hand 1 but never folding just unlucky.

Hand 2 is a bit meh but I tend to be snug from the SB to EP opens and I would be folding KQ and KJ here a decent amount of the time. Donking out flop is not great, info bets are so 2002 (folds worse, calls or jams better = not a good bet). This made worse if villain is capable of jamming worse such as QJ or draws. Problems in this hand start preflop really, be really tight from the blinds as a default to start with and you should improve
