Two little NL25 hands

Hand #1
A horrible value bet - only getting called or reshoved for a split pot then killed by rake. A min-raise would be perfect as two opponents are very loose and would look for a reason to call.

My only excuse was 5 tabling as 25NL is still very juicy...

Hand #2

The thing about micro stakes is that your opponent often puts you in really awkward spots where you're forced to over-value your hand. I don't like playing for stacks with two pair. I really don't like playing so big on the turn as many Ax hands now have me crushed. But I hold my breath and pray as the opponent is the soft spot where I'm looking to get my chips.
