hand 2 is v. different from hand 1, villain's range is much more likely to hit the flop and he will be much less scared of any moves you make

I didn't notice it was 4 handed, but just wondering if I'm off base with folding hand 2 preflop? it seems like a very marginal call to me, especially since villains range is half the deck

i think you can pfrr in hand 2, since you're ahead of a 38% pfr, and my guess is that his calling range is wide, he'll miss a lot of flops, and you'll be able to take it down w/ a cbet

for the same reason you don't have much implied odds, if you smooth call, and you hit, villain will likely have air, and you won't get paid off
