Please ignore the fact that its $25NL Party (which I know has very little Fold Equity). I'm really "practicing" while clearing the turbo bonus on Empire.

I definitely think I misplayed 1 of them.

Hand number 1 I like alot. But with hand number 2 there are just too many hands you are behinf including a bigger flush draw. You already know that $25NL is not the place to practice this. So I was just curious why you are trying it there?? You don't really need to "practice". You know when to make these moves. If you wanna practice I thik maybe you should try it against oponents that will fold. This way your results will not be swayed. You can get a truer reading of what to expect.

I make the push with nut flush draws and overcards a lot (helps give me an 'action' image'). When I have top pair as well I'm often happy to play it slower (though here you have to be worried about AK or AQ so I quite like the push)

I don't like 2 at all - no nut flush draw and no overcards..

i agree with kenny

Good points guys. I do agree about the all in might actually reduce fold equity.

Hand 1-- After a long wait, he called. Turn A[d]. River K[h]. Made the flush but he had AK for a boat.

Hand2--- Yuck. That was a dumb move be me. He called with limped AA and I didn't improve.

Interesting that neither had any flush draw posibility and really only had TPTK when they called.
