Also, please don't mention how I underbet the flop, its just something new I was trying out today which I won't be trying out again

Re: Two Overpair hands
 

Hand 1 - I fold. Too many draws on that board, and mostly you are SA/WB.

Hand 2 - There is no reason to think the turn helped BB or button too much. You have to bet to protect your hand. I'd bet about 3/4 pot here.

Re: Two Overpair hands
 

Fold the first hand. Put yourself in villains position and ask what you would be raising that much with.

3/4 pot for value on the second hand, fold to a re-raise.

Re: Two Overpair hands
 

Its tough. You seem to think villian has you beat. I would think flush draw or maybe Js or 9s. He seems weak to me. Call raise and see what the turn brings. Then reevaluate.

Re: Two Overpair hands
 

Calling to reevaluate in hand 1 is spewing. There are 28 cards in the deck I don't want to see on the turn (4 aces, 4 kings, 4 jacks, 3 tens, 4 nines, the heart seven, 4 sixes, and the 5, 4, 3, and 2 of hearts.) That is way more than half the deck. And considering we don't even have the Qh as a redraw, I'm just not happy about this. The flop sucks, there is such a wide variety of hands we could be facing, and we're OOP. Drop this one like a bad habit and don't think twice about it.

Hand one looked like push or fold to me, i folded-I thought the only hand I was really beating was JJ
