Hi

With the first hand i guess my my main question is regarding the check raise attempt on the river? Is this worthwhile in this case when i have the nuts?


And the second hand. Should I of re reaised the turn? Or called and tried to extract more on the river? I thought with the board showing a two flush a decent bet there prtoects my hand? Am I thinking correct here?

Cheers

p.s. The pre flop raise each time of 3 x BB and not 4 x was simply due to 3 x seeming lke the best size at this table since 4 x was very rarely getting called.

On the 1st hand i really like the check on turn for pot control. On the second hand I think you played it very well.

I hate checking the river in hand 1. Villain is not bluffing this river often enough, if you bet ~1/2 pot you might still be called by worse hands.

Hand 2 i like, probably no need to raise this flop, and the turn raise is good since you're way ahead of his range and you want to build a pot at some point.

I bet more pf in both hands.
Maybe 2.5 in H1 and 2.0 in H2.
I don't like the river check in the first hand. Value bet here instead. If he likes his hand he calls.
Except for small bet pf I like H2
