    First hand- Terrible spot to min raise there.. make it 2K and get him to fold his 88. After the flop in a $3 i'm not sure if you can fold that but you have a big stack so might not be worth the risk especially since villian isn't going to be playing back light against the only one that can cripple his stack.

    Second hand- just ul imo

    yeah 1st hand i figured i should have raised more...i was thinking around 2200 or as u said 2k...i figured on the button i reraise to make the blinds fold. he was opening a lot of hands and taking blinds so i figured because of my tight image he would fold...and hey what u gonna do..the set flopped out...next time a substancial reraise will b done...thanx gar
