    First hand : flame on ! I know I suck as a poker player as I still can't fold a set, even when I have every reason possible to fold... I know that call on the river is horrible but I wanted to see the AQ, so bad... (PS : so tired of the cooler hand I get every sunday in the million...)

    Second hand : Am I drawing against AA, KK, QQ if I call or is there a chance that I am facing a wider range here, should I always fold in that spot or almost always call ?

    Thanks for the input.

    im definitely raising the flop on the first hand because there are a ton of scare cards that could come on the turn. not only are these scare cards a potential threat to your hand but they could also stop the the action. if a scare card (heart, 9, q, ace) comes the original raiser might just shut down.

    Of course I had to have the final cooler to top it off with AK<AJ in the sunday million... I always get in with the best hand in this tourney and never seem to be able to go deep, so frustrating...
