Default Re: 2 hands 600 NL against regular

Hand one doesn't seem good, although your logic seems right that it doesn't really make sense for him to show up with anything. There just aren't too many combos of hands other than complete air you beat though.

Also I would play the flop the same. Shoving flop you are going to be getting it in with 15% a ton and the other times you are going to be getting it in around 50%. With 500 left behind, shoving is -EV unless he check/raises these all low flops as a bluff a ton, and if that were the case I'd rather check behind on the flop so you don't have to play a massive pot with a weak one pair hand.



Hand 2 I would rather bet the turn than check unless villain was float happy. Obviously your plan was to check/raise the turn for stacks, but if he is solid he'll check behind with most of his weak one pair hands where you could stack him if you bet that weakish 150 on the turn so he could shove with a straight draw (thinking he had some fold equity) and it would also allow you to get more money in against weaker pairs since he probably expects you to bet that card with your entire range and will continue with less.

As played, I think you can find a fold, although it gets closer to a call if he can turn some weak one pair hand into a bluff here on the river expecting you to play Kx by bet/folding. Of course, problem is though that Kx and AQ here are pretty much the same equivalent hand as you really only beat a bluff. Generally though people aren't that bluff happy so I think I fold.

I'd also bet more on the river like $250 so when he shoves I can be confident he won't bluff given how good of odds you will be getting. $150 into a $350 pot is just screaming to get bluffed, but I guess that was your plan. Not really too many hands he can be bluffing with though honestly, so not really a fan here in this spot
