Wondering what I could have done here thanks for the insight. I'll post the results later. The villians in the first and second hands were playing incredibly LAG. They would go all in pre-flop consistently with no raises in front of them. That's all the info I had on them, but they were loose

Format looks good.

In the AQ hand, don't call raises of that size without JJ+ or AK. And don't call even then, just shove all in.

The A5 hand makes me vomit. Don't limp, raise if you insist on playing the trash. Bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river. Stop slow-playing.

Fold both pre flop :).

AQ: dont even think about callin 28BB prf with AQ even against a LAG tard donk, if your gonna play against him make sure you have QQ,KK,AA and maby AK if your really whant to play this hand 3bet(basicly just push since a normal 3bet here 1,5$-2$ is commiting both of you) but im folding here all day.
The flop call is marginal imo, why stack a LAG spewer with one pair?
but i understand it since u called prf.

A5: i rather limp in with conectors(suited or not) or suited brodways then A-rag since even i u hit a par or better chances are your beat.
On the flop i whould bet about 70-80% the pot since there is a FD and if a Q-J-K hits on the turn it adds a str8 draw.
I think c9 said it best "STOP SLOW PLAYING" speacialy when u have a vulnerable hand beting all streets whould also have safed your from the sticky river decsion

If the guys is consistently showing K/Q A/10 A/rag in the first hand i thought I had him dominated pre.

A 5 was just me plain stupid calling :)

Guess i need to work on my patience

Most important think to remember is bad players can pick up good hands to. Thats why u whant to have a monster against them and take all there chips,let them steal a few times and when u get AA take all the money :)

I will wait for TT+ or AK if a clown is making huge pf raises. Then, don't just call. Reraise or shove. It won't always be you taking his money, but he will always lose it.

A5off.....open raise in late position, otherwise toss it.

If I may say.. even though you might be cleaning up vomit right now, Isn't it strange that a loose player would not raise with AK pre?

I'm not justifying the call preflop, because i knew I would get 'bombarded' on that one, just saying you don't really expect AK with no raise

You're confusing loose with bad. Loose players not raising AK, sure, that's strange. Bad players not raising AK preflop? Have you seen this thread?

2$ NL full ring is an exercise in nut camping. Don't try and make too many reads on player's preflop range, because honestly its ridiculously hard. Just read their actions & betting patterns.

The thing about LAG playersn at this limit is that when they get a big hand, i.e. QQ+ theyre so scared of being played back at ect or seeing a scary flop that they tend to raise manically PF. His raise pretty much looks like that. So thats why id fold that PF.#

The second hand, ur limping with trash OOP and seem to catch a very nice flop, so stop slow playing. At these levels youll get called by pretty much ATC from some players, and if you bet something like 0.06c on the flop and get raised you still have plenty of time to work out your behind and fold by the river. This looks like a case of playing trash leading to trouble.

Id also reccoment buying in for full stacks, and reloading so youve always got at the least a full stack. This has the dual purpose of giving you the best possible implied odds and when as c9 said you should be nut-hunting so when you do get a monster you can get the maximum value out of it.

Meh, if you're willing to take a shot then I don't fault you for calling that AQ preflop..and clearly call that all in after an ace hits..however fold the A5 preflop...it's a recipe for disaster
