Couple of interesting hands one against Arbianight in the $150+13 FTP

[Bob1Preston]

1. Hand 1

I am well aware that he is a very good player, but the check call could be a wide range of aces that don't have me beat in which he could lead in so that he doesn't have to commit a lot of chips with a check raise. So I mad the call on the turn to freeze him hoping he would check a weak ace behind and I would reevaluate if he shoved or made another bet. However, the J came on the river which would trump a weak two pair so I felt obligated to look him up. Let me know what you guys think.


2. Hand 2

Here I decided to lead because I don't like to let my opponent just cbet w/ a wide range of hands. I feel that the lead here defines his hand more. With this coordinted flop I felt like he would raise w/ any over pair, set, and even a straight. Therefore I felt like his call was fairly weak and tried to take the hand away on the turn. Let me know how you guys would have played it. Thanks.
