World Series Mayhem...2 Live hands

[jlocdog]

Live at Harvey's Lake Tahoe. Blinds are 5-10 with no cap.

The World Series Circuit events are in town and with it has brought alot of action and a bunch of monkeys.

Hand 1: There is a live $20 straddle in effect from a player who sat down about an orbit and a half ago. I have played with him numerous times and view his game to be LAG but on the more controled side. The game had turned passive for the past two rounds or so and he said he wanted to spark up the action again. He has about $2600 in front of him (He bought in for $2500).

One guy limped and I raise to $100 with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] from limpers immediate left from MP. Table folds around to straddler who calls fairly quickly. Limper folds.

With $235 in the pot now the flop comes K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Straddler checks and I bet $200. He calls again fairly quickly. Turn card is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He checks.

Am I in a WA/WB situation here or is a turn bet mandatory?
How much to bet if that is your preffered line?
Can this hand take any heat like a C/R?
Can we ever find a check behind here or is a free card too dangerous?


Hand 2: I am in Hijak with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and limp behind 3 other limpers. BB checks. $55 in the pot. Flop comes 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB (stack size is $1400) leads for $40. Next guy (Stack size is $2100) raises to $120. Folded to me. I call (Stack size is $3500). BB also calls. Turn comes 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks. EP thinks for a second and checks as well. I check behind. River is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks and EP now bets out $400 into a $415 pot.

What is your play?
Comments on the line I took would be much appreciated as well.....
