2 hands no resistance

[Poker Gestalt]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I have no reason to slow down on either of these hands do I?

With both of these it just irked me to keep pressing the bet button.

In first hand, if you planned on calling a river bet then you may as well bet as this prevents villian from value betting his good hands and checking behind with his weaker ones that he would call a bet with.

in second hand if we assume the villian is a typical 0.25/0.5 player then I would bet because you get shown Qx, 7x or another pair that you beat. Sometimes it is Kx...thems the breaks. I'd need a read to convince me not to bet the river in hand 2.

Both hands are standard. Keep betting until they give you a reason not to.

yeah i had no reads on any person individually but the table was in general loose passive. I just wanted to make sure im playing these situations right. Id assume that i would use a dif line against a TAG? what about LAG? also what kind of line whould you suggest?

[fretelöo]

In the second hand, if you have a read, I might decide to check behind on the river. You'll realize soon enough who will call down with TPwK.

The first is a clear value bet in most games. People routinely play Ax, sometimes Kx but much less so Qx. So you'll be up against a K in hand two more often than against a Q in hand one.
