I just got back from Vegas as couple of minutes ago, overall it was a fun trip. I will post a full report, WSOP events and all tommorrow. The poker results didnt turn out as well as I would have liked, I spend a lot of the drive home mulling over these two hands.
Hand 1 1/2 NL at the palms, $200 max, Villian 1 has $120 he is a calling station and a total fish, Villian 2 is a solid played $150. I get
![The Eight of Hearts [8h]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/8h.gif)
on the button. I raise to $15 after getting two limpers. 3 Callers, pot is now $62. Flop is [10c] [10h]

. It checks to me, I like my two way draw and want to show stregnth so worst case they check to me on the turn and I can see a free card. I bet $40, Villian 1 check raises all in for another $65, Villian 2 calls. What now?
Results: I call, made my flush on the turn put Villian 2 all in who called instantly with 66, my buddy told me later he folded the

so I was drawing dead on the flop?
Hand 2: 2/5 NL at the Rio. $500 max, Villian 1 strange player likes min raise UTG, pretty decent player pretty much ABC, he has $400, Villian 2 $500 decent player got his top trips cracked by a nasty two outter, and has been on tilt since. He just bought in for his 3rd buy in. I have

in the BB, Villian 1 raises to $10 utg, gets 4 callers, I am getting odds so I call. Flop is
![The Queen of Spades [Qs]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Qs.gif)
. Top pair with the nut flush redraw. Villian 1 bets out $50, Villian 2 calls, I call also. I considered a raise but I was afraid of being up against AK or AQ and I didnt think he would possibly fold. Turn is the

and it checks around. River is the
![The Jack of Spades [Js]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Js.gif)
. I check, I still am not totaly sure where I stand and would be willing to take a free showdown here. Villian 1 checks, Villian 2 bets $300. I know I have him beat, I call, Villian 1 goes all in behind me for $50 more, Villian 2 calls. I now have to call, the pot is over $1200 and I only have to call $50.
Results: As I thought I have Villian 2 he had
![The Four of Spades [4s]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/4s.gif)
. Villian 1 has KQ for the boat. I went over the hand about 100 times in my head and here is what I came up with. First off I got really unlucky here both players misplay their hands. Villian 1 trying to check raise the river with one player left to act is a really bad play, Villian 2 is a moron for over betting the river that bad, nothing that he can beat calls his bet. I made a good read on him. I think I should have lead the river, as a blocking/ see where I was bet, that is the only possible way I dont get screwed here.
Any and all advice is appeciated.
