thanks guys
I'm running terrible lately - probably i'm playing worse than I was thinking.
Am I right at my stakes the important part is to not get busted - i think i'm sometimes too easy to be read - but well...
lost 20% of my bankroll while playing 50$ NL (within like 2000 hands)
and another 10% after having switched down to 25$ nl (again very few hands were needed)
Feels like i'm not getting better - perhaps stick to books again?

hand 1. what flop did you WANT to see with that hand and so many players in the pot? Now that you saw the flop that you liked (I guess) you are facing a decision of wheather to call or not.. I think I would fold that right there and wait for a better opportunity because even though it is a strange all in (to me) he may have a set hoping to get a call from TPTK (which someone is bound to have in 7way pot) or two pair.. I highly doubt that he has QQ,KK,AA here..

hand 2. why min raise the flop? If I understood correctly, it's pot limit holdem... so make it a pot sized raise if you are raising there at all.. i think that min raise here is rather bad play... as for turn, I think you have to call now cause you are somewhat commited because of those 2 other guys.. but I also think you are behind here and that someone might very easily have [2h] since it was unraised pot PF again...

p.s. what site is this?

this is ongame or bwin however you wanna call it.

The software sucks and I have to in fact play in the browser because the software always loses connection.

let's say I call turn on hand 2

river is

First raises
second reraises and is allin
Would you still call?
