For hand 1, Do we want a free showdown? Here's what I thought when betting the river - I can't beat most hands at the showdown while most hands can't call a large bet at the showdown either. (Villain knows if he calls and loses, he'd end up with 1400 chips and folding leaves him 3000). A bet also blocks a bluff. Not sure this is a logical thinking or not.


Villain had a table talk, he apologized for the long delay in action and said the river was a very bad card and said I must have Ace of heart. Anyway, whoever folded the Ace of heart at the table knew I din't have Ace of heart.


Hand 2, I agree - raise to 950 - 1100 to mess around is the best play.
