Default Re: Live 20/40 Two river check-raise attempts…

Hand 2 I like a lot. If he's half-aware he shouldn't put you on a 5, and he's gotta pay off with his likely 2 pair.

Hand 1 I don't like so much. As others pointed out, the river not only brought a flush card, but also paired the board. If it doesn't encourage villain to check behind, it'll certainly make it harder for him to call the raise (he seems like the kind that might hand-read badly enough to think that you could have a 2). Aside from that, there's also a decent chance that villain just made a boat, and we'll get taken to value town. Especially if we can't fold to the 3-bet, I'd rather get in 1 or 2 bets, instead of 0 or 3.
