Re: 50NL, two hands I am lost in
 

Hand 1: Like most others have said this is normally a raise or fold preflop.. I prefer raise, from what I have seen recently (I took about 4 months off from poker, previously I was playing NL200/NL400) a lot of people try to play the 22/18 type range but are not good enough at it and continually fold to 3 bets.
As played... meh, it becomes very situational, if he 2 barrels, you can call, but it is tough to know where you are.

Hand 2 as someone else said is the PERFECT spot for a squeeze... without squeezing, someone c bet leading into that many players on that board is probably very strong.

Hand 1 I like a 3 bet, but a fold is ok too. Calling is worst option imo. I fold the turn unless you see him double barrel alot.

Hand 2 I dump to MP's bet, your basically never good here. The RIO of calling from the BB is gross so I raise or fold pre flop, leaning toward a raise.

Re: 50NL, two hands I am lost in
 

3betting a MP raiser in CO w/ ATs is a bit too aggressive for me. I probably fold pf.

On the flop, I call and re-evaluate. He bet the turn OOP too; I have the information I need; I fold.

I probably 3bet in the second hand and stack myself on the flop. :P

As played, I can fold flop in hand two. Getting stubborn with TP here is going to cost you a lot of money a lot of the time.

First hand i like to 3 bet occasionally. I raise the flop as well, either way you will know where your at. The second hand 41/24 is not tag. I am leading this flop we have a pretty good hand, calling gets us no information at all.

Any competent TAG, no matter how aggro, doesn't c-bet on a board like that multiway with 99.

The fact that you are advocating mucking AQ clearly means betting 99 is a good play. If I se two checks and I have raised pf and this is the board I'm betting any hand anytime because I can easily have a hand that hit this flop, and when I actually do have a hand I want a history of c-betting 44.

No, c-betting 99 on a board like this heads up is a good play. Pot c-betting 99 4-way, when one of the villains is 42/24/2, is nothing but spew.
