As some may be aware, I am a micro-stakes player looking to further improve my game. I respect the posts I've seen on this site and would like this forum's feedback on 2 of my recent hands. Opinions, criticism, and/or education are all that I'm lookin' for... For whatever reason, FTP doesn't seem to want to track my hand histories so I have to wing it (probably because I play at such high stakes)>>>>>>
