Default Re: two more hands from HH

Check raise the flop in hand 1. When you somewhat under-represent you hand pre-flop (although I like just calling here) you hope to get more action that you should on a flop like this. He probably doesn't put you on AK, but if you just call he will probably put you on a weaker A and might shut down. Just raise and hope he thinks you're trying to mess with him (I would also bluff raise this flop with something like KQo so I like to do this for balance - not that it matters at 0.5/1 though.)

Hand 2 is close for me. On one hand it's likely you're ahead when he checks the river, but on the other hand he might not even call now with a pair. I think you played it fine.
