Hand 1 - reraise preflop enough to represent a big pair. Fold if villain pushes preflop. I don't like calling and playing multi-way with Dreamer behind you. Get Dreamer out of the hand and go heads up w/ initiative vs SB.

Hand 2- Make a continuation bet at the flop. Give up if he calls and bets the turn. Your QQ still might be good heads up with the K on the flop. You have only 2 outs to improve. So bet to win vs hands you beat, and to find out if QQ is no good and cut your loses otherwise. As played, the A hit him if the K didn't, so you can fold. But what if the turn was a low brick and he bets? At that point, he could be betting any pair, any draw, a weak king, or anything that would have folded to a cb on the flop.

1. This was not an aggressive player so aq aj are out of his range. I don't even think tens are there so he has ak,jj-AA, so I guess the best I can hope for is a low flop and he has ak or overcards to his pair.
2. I think the way the hand played he had ak,KK,or AA because if he has JJ-10's the ace would look like my card after I checked flop

hand 1: check the turn? i'm going broke here if i am gonna bet the turn

hand 2: fold obv. betting the flop looks pretty terrible unless there were very specific metagame reasons.

[Prismis]

1. You say he's not aggro, so it seems AQ isn't a likely hand, as you said. If you're daring enough, you could even raise his flop bet to see where you are. But calling to probe on the turn isn't a bad move either. It's an obvious fold there; check-raise usually equals death. The way the hand was played, it looks like QQ.

2. No cont bet? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] You have position on him as well, which is great. Take advantage of the check and bet once again, to see where you are. Checking gives virtually no info. I doubt he had KK or AA there, because he would have reraised you preflop if he were a decent player. AK, I don't think either, since he didn't bet the flop. My guess is that he sensed weakness on the flop, and either hit an A or bet the A scare card on the turn with a weaker hand.

[elcheapo]

Well, if you have ak, aa or kk its kind of standard to call preflop, checkraise flop. Maybe not standard but pretty close. I took initiative with the rr and so I get checked to.

[Kermit]

i didnt even look at the second hand.

fold both---both of these guys, especially the first one, are total fugging nits.
