2 hands for review

tehDiceman · #1 10-17-2007, 11:29 PM

these two hands got me thinking a little. im a recovering nit so these dont feel standard for me so i'd like some input.

no real reads on this villian. he is 20/8.75/1.14 over 80 hands. what should my action be, should i bet or check? are you calling his bet? his river aggression was very low so i ended up folding.

this villian is 59/8/1.5 over 62 hands. he check/called two streets and i wasnt sure if a worse hand was calling the river so i took the cheap SD, should i have bet there for value?
