Hand 1, I would full pot flop, full pot turn, check/call river. Your hand is massive until the river, you want to make the pot bigger and charge draws full price. On the river its less likely hands you beat will call your bet, you get raised by hands that beat you, but hands that you beat may fire when you check. Why? Norman Chad 'he shows weakness with that check' or 'theo nly way he wins htis pot is if he bets, Lon'

Hand 2- I would never lead this flop , probably ck/fold unless he minbets or something stupid. Turn I would check/call a v small bet, river depends on how the rest of the hand played out, as you played it though I would definitely muck? Your only value here is from busted spades bluffing (ps your bets gave him the odds to draw to w/e if he was indeed drawing, but I dont like betting in the first place)
