Up off the canvas

I got completely outplayed in hand 1. The villain has been tight and isn't on the radar. The early position raise signals some danger, but in pot limit I can't determine much by the raise size. I re-pop him for information and consequently the min 4-bet signals that I'm done with the hand.

On the flop he checks a board with 2 clubs which I found curious. Does he possibly have AK? I still don't like my hand so i check behind. Usually I'm not looking to play big pots against the tight spots at the table.

On the turn he throws out a perfectly sized bet. I can't call, I now have to figure if he has AKs and has 2 overs with a flush draw, or my initial read was right and I've been coolered. The board is now so heavy I shove and pray.

Well played sir, well played.

Shortly after came this hand. I'm not a fan of big pairs in pot limit, they just play terrible. The great thing about pot limit IMO is being able to see more flops cheaply.

When the LAG smooth calls me, again I'm not happy as its so hard to put these guys on a hand post flop and it's nigh impossible to control the pot size. On that flop and against a LAG though, it was an uncomfortable and relatively easy shove.
