Hand 1) Bet way larger. Your opponent isn't paying attention, so just pot/pot/shove. Why are you betting less than half pot?

Hand 2) Fold pre, and the river.

 

[John A]

Yeah, hand 1 you need to be betting larger. You lost a lot of value here.

Same in hand 2, bet larger on the turn. Fold pre-flop. As played, bet/call more on the river.

1. Bet a bit larger, but not too large. I'd go for something like flop 0.10 - turn 0.22 (0.20 as played) - river 0.50 (0.40 as played).

2. Fold preflop, and it's not even close. I'll only play that from the button, or maybe from the CO (when I'm feeling frisky or when the blinds are nits).
As played, I call the river, expecting a chop.

1st hand agree with above - bet stronger, but with 2nd hand i disagree i think he played well, sometimes i played with suited connectors too from UTG, i mean' sometimes we can play with trash hands ,and i like this decision, and opponent behaviour- played like autocaller, whatever hero bets - villain just calls especially on 1st hand, this info can be very useful on the next hand.
IMO - River call, i think pot just split.

 

[Jreece18]

Still don't think it's great playing suited connectors in EP especially at micros. Make most of our money in position and it's more likely you'll be playing it OOP.

 

[BPEPFPDP]

Overall- yes, but sometimes we can try it.
