Donk bettor in hand 1 in 44/7/.16 over 50 hands. Everyone else is unknown. Considered raising in hand 1 but being sandwiched between 2 callers made it a fold for me. Is this correct? And is Hand 2 as easy of a fold as I thought it was at the time?

1: id do the same
2: I'd raise the flop, as played this is tough i think this is a close call, you'll see an overpair alot and a flush draw

Hand 1 is good.
Hand 2, I would raise the flop as well. Considering the stack sizes, pushing the flop can't be horrible.

tw0, I think Unknown meant that you'll be up against one player with a pair and the other with a flush draw. FWIW, I would fold this turn as well.

hand 1 i think is ok, hand 2 id definitely raise the flop and be happy to get it ai, which a flop raise effectively does anyways.

I had trouble using "reply" button on this thread and had to resort to "Quote" button to be able to post here.

Both folds look good to me, although i might have called the first hand $1 bet on the flop to see where that was going, it doesn't look like a strong K th way it is being bet, and it may in fact be the J he s betting.....
but, the fold is cettainly okay , as u are probably behind here now .

In hand one why not call if it is raised behind you let it go. If it just gets called and you hit your gutty you are well disguised.

How is anyone folding hand one? This is so weak tight I want to vomit. Semi bluff here, raise it to $4 to see if the guy betting is trying to see a cheap turn to draw to a flush or a gutshot, which is exactly what it looks like he is hoping to get. Raise him and fold if reraised and check through the turn otherwise.
