[n.s.]

I'll probably get this wrong as well, but here goes...

hand 1: I think I'd raise the flop and either take a free turn card (folding the river u/i), or bet the turn depending on what card came and how my opponent reacted to the raise (I think I'd bet this particular turn card).

As played, I'd just call the turn. Fold the river if we miss, call a T, raise a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or K.

hand 2: I'd check-raise this flop and lead most turns. You've got a ton of outs to a strong hand, and you'll put a lot of pressure on a small PP.

As played, I think I might c/r the turn if you think this guy can lay down a hand. I would also consider calling the river u/i if he is pretty aggro.
