no limint texas holdem 1/2$ at casino.

been playing for bit more than an hour and the table was pretty loose andaggresive.

HAND 1.
stacks aprrox 120$.

utg+2 raise to 6$, button calls, small blind raise to 19$. me on big blind raise to 40$ with KK. small blind only calls leaving him ~75$ stack.

So flop ~92$ comes : 4h6c5c
small blind checks, i move all in he calls showing 4c7c.
turn 4s
river K.



an aggresive player opens for 8$ UTG. i decide to call with AA form UTG+2 hoping to get raised by one of two aggresive players behind me, and get 2 more calls.

so 4 way flop: Kh3d5h
original raiser checks. i bet 20$ and get 2 calls, from button and original raiser.
turn 2c
utg+1 checks.. i decide to raise 30$ and get 2 calls (small bet i was thinking not to get commited in case someone moved all in. stacks aproxx 300$ at begining of hand)
river 8h
utg+1 checks. i ckeck. button bets 75$. utg+1 folds.
Looks like a value bet to me and i fold although my gut was telling me i was getting bluffed. button showed me 5c7c after i folded.


any thoughts on these two hands ? what could i have done differently perhaps ?

H1 - yeah fine nh
H2 - call the river, he makes a <1/2 PSB after it's checked to him, can easily be bluffing or making a thin value bet with top pair. If this is one of the aggressive players at the table then it should make your decision even easier.

H1 - all good

H2 - I think I want to raise anyhow on a loose table preflop. Or if not, then I want to raise more on the turn, maybe $75 or $80. Charge draws more and avoid those tough river decisions re does he have it or not. If someone moves in OTT, I'd feel inclined to call the aggro play, but obv highly read dependent and you may well need to fold.
