I'm interested in people's opinions on these 2 hands, I think the 2nd one is standard but wouldn't mind thoughts on folding?
Hand 1:
Day 1, blinds 200-400 & ante 25. Villain is Dermot Blain who has been serial-raising from UTG and EP throughout the last few levels. Probably because myself and guy to my left are both playing tight, mainly as we're short and getting atrocious cards
Dermot raises to 850 from UTG, LP tightish player (but seems to like an odd loose call with hands like KJ) flats.
I'm short on about 11.5k and need a double-up. I look down at 10-10 in the BB and raise to 2,400. Is this a poor raise? Should I have just shipped?
Dermot has a good think about it and flats. He's playing about 16k before the hand. I'm thinking WTF now.
The other guy gets out of the way.
Flop comes Jh4s5s and I bet out 2,900. I think this is a bad mistake as it leaves me with around 6.5k behind. Should I have shipped in now or is that a total spewtard shove?
Dermot deliberates for about 2/3 minutes and bets out about a 9k chunk. FML.
What do I do now? Thoughts please. I've a feeling I massacred this hand.
Hand 2:
Day 2, blinds 800-1600 & 100 ante. I'm after losing a 52k pot with KK<AA and down to 12.3k after a few antes gone by.
I look down at Ks10h in LP so I ship in. Standard?
