Re: Couple of hands to review No way out of the first hand in my opinion MP, but 2nd you did make a big move when only holding QQ. It's a big hand yes, but the raise suggested he had a big hand too, so maybe you should have seen the flop first. However, had you seen the flop, only JJ would have worried you, but would it have been sufficient enough worry to make you fold? Personally, I'm quite aggressive and I would have probably played both those hands very similar to how you played them. You're not having much luck with AA, I took you out of Virgin with that last night too! :$
