Hand 2

Guy is real fishy playing 54/6/1. Called 3bets squeezes in the middle with hands as bad as 26s. No post flop reads yet as only played about 20 hands with him. W/ my flop bet sizing I lean on a call as I was kind of inducing amd banking on the fact he prob cant fold a PP there to the bet.

Both are folds for me.

Ditto.

Also don't really love the flop/turn in the first hand. I guess the flop is alright, but I think the turn bet is bad.

The second hand I'm not a fan of bet/folding this flop, I'm not a fan of bet/calling either, though. I would have checked the flop, as played I don't think you're ahead here very often at all.

GRUNCH:

HAND 1:

either bet a little bigger on the turn (for information), (likr $75) or C-F. i find a lot of villains like limp-calling SAs, which they never ever fold on an ace-high flop.

HAND 2: i think this is very highly read-dependant, but i think the max EV line is more likely to be C-F or C-C. FWIW i think your bet looks a LOT like a mosnter trying for max value.
