OMG these hands both made me cringe - bruuuutal

so, do you think you made a bad fold on the first hand?
I encounter this kind of play on lower limits all the time, and thus I call much more over bets when I am in fact behind - Probably the main reason I busted my online BR.

Do we need to alter our game due to their bad game or do we need to continue and fold in these situations?

Tilty wilty on the second hand.

First hand, what can you say. Mark Mr. QJ as your friend and tag along with him whenever you can.
