Re: 50NL, two hands I am lost in
RIO: Reverse Implied Odds. Win a small pot, lose a big one. An example are hands like ATo and AJo which make okay one pair hands and are good for a bet or two, but can't really get involved in medium-big pots.
The more I look at hand 2, the more I like the check/fold, maybe even a flop bet (although you have to fold to a raise). If you call the flop there's nothing to reevaluate on the turn, seeing your just praying it gets checked down: If he bets turn strong you're pretty much crushed. Heck, when he bets flop strong you're pretty much crushed. Any competent TAG, no matter how aggro, doesn't c-bet on a board like that multiway with 99.
