I don't like first hand. Bet a bit more on flop. Reraise him please and yes call ai... at least bet the turn! That was some weakkkk play.

Second I would check turn. But its vilain dependant.

Hand 1 - Hard to say without a read. The board has a few draws and with the blank turn I could lead again. It really depends though on how i expect villain to react to a donk bet. If I have no idea how he would react, I don't like donking.

When he checks the turn behind i'd say that it is usually a sign of weakness and since your hand is underrepped i would typically make 1/2 - 2/3 pot size bet on the river. ~25 i think is fine. If he raises you just have to trust your instincts. Against unknowns I'm not really looking to win / lose stacks with these kind of hands. Even if you miss some value i think it is perfectly fine to take a somewhat passive route until you know what to do. That's probably just me though and i'm sure you'll get a few "ZOMG poooosh FTW" answers as well

(By the way, you should probably not show villains last action, since it unavoidably affects everyones perception of villains hand strength. including my answer here.)

Hand 2 - perfectly fine imo. you'll catch a busted draw or a frisky AT often enough. (depending on your own image of course)

[censored], forgot about that one. I agree that the flop bet was too small. make it closer to pot on a board like this. it's not at all unlikely that you induced a bluff with that smallish bet.
