I fold both.

First hand, I dont bet this flop OOP even tho you are likely to have the best hand and you are vulnerable. Given that you are OOP you cant go three streets with this hand and you cant really bet again if he floats you. I like a check call here and see if you can get a cheap SD.

Hand two preflop is marginal. I often raise hands like this OTB but I like a fold better. You have to fold this flop though.

I dont understand the flop in hand two, I think you have edited the hand history here becuase it says you are button preflop but you act first on the flop. Naughty naughty, you know you shouldnt be completing these sort of hands from the small blind /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

The lesson here is tighten up OOP.

Very sneaky sir /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hand 2 is actually completed from the sb, no idea why it says I'm on the button.
