Default Re: Two stoxtrader hands

1: i guess stox is thinking that if he pairs his 7 he is still behind either a q or 10. But with the 2nd flop, a paired 7 can beat either a 5 or 2. I have no idea mathematically how Stox justifies this- curious to see the responses.

2: Yeah, i guess peeling is okay there. But why is he not raising like in the hypothetical flop from hand 1? Also, why is he okay to fold in hand 1 (where bb could also be on a draw) but not here? the pot is slightly bigger, but how mathematically does this now sway it to a call?

These situations are very nebulous to me, and Im interested if Stox is able to provide clear and definitive logic to justify his play here. Both situations seem pretty close, and Im not sure whether there is a clear answer either way.
