Thank you all for your responses.

In hand 1 I raised the turn, and villain 3-bet. I called. River was a brick. He bet. I folded. He told me he had AA, and I beleive him based on sitting next to him for awhile, and talking to him a decent amount.

Most of you guys suggested making a move on the flop instead of the turn, which certainly would have played out better here. I thought to myself that I could get villain to fold more often if I raised the turn instead of the flop, but that seems like an overall worse line, as displayed by the outcome.

Hand 2 : I called the turn. The river was a brick, and i check/folded. Villain later told me he had J9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and I believe him too. I check/folded the river because I really thought he would never bluff the river. I should have considered that he saw me fold enough during the session that it was time for a call down. Of course action by me on the flop, or maybe the turn, would have been a better line that just a "call down".

Thanks again guys.

The smaller folding equity on the flop is made up for by bigger pot equity and the ability to figure out where you are and save money on the big streets
