  2. I think the first hand, I might have folded with the set. You only completed, and let random hands in for cheap, and those players are reraising, and rereraising your initial raise. I think it is obvious you are needing the board to pair in this spot.

    Second hand I think the raise was sort of weird. You had 1105 and raised $975 in the SB. I would have most likely just shoved this rather then the fancy raise leaving $55 behind. I don't think Joys play was too good here, though, so even with just standard raise, you probably would have been called and lost anyway.

    Hind sight is what it is though, so I may or maynot have played these differently. Good luck next time, and in the stakes you are at I am surprised there are players playing for so much with A 9, at the mini stakes I play that is common, but I thought players played a bit tighter at higher limits?
