Assuming you've been raising the button lots, his range could be pretty wide here. Like any J. I'd probably call the turn. If he fires again on the river, it's a tough call but button vs. blind I probably call down.

UTG is 53/11/1.56 and folds ~30%, calls ~60% and raises ~10% to c-bets.

CO is 66/19/5 and I cant remember his c-bet stats, but he didnt fold to much more than half of c-bets.

Do you c-bet this flop repping an A, despite their post flop looseness?

Do you just limp behind these clowns preflop, figuring to get paid off pretty well if you hit a set?

Villain is 37/17/8 in only 35 hands. I dont have much of a read, but I have 3 bet him preflop before and he folded. Considering his short stack, how's my line here?

Not that I know anything, but I am in a posting mood.

Hand one, check intending to fold. People with those stats are calling with JT and KT as well as Qs and As, I would be surprised if you get the folds you want.

Hand two is fine. I often do the check thing here trying to rep a really big hand with the raise on the turn.

Checking behind this board texture reps a weak hand.

Yeah it does, but once you raise the turn it doesn't as much. It looks like a check to induce a bet.

Personally I would think, ok he checked behind that flop? Can't have much, ok what's change on the turn? Diamonds, ship it I'm not folding a any pair.

This looks fine to me. If you c-bet that flop it has to be with the intention of calling a shove.

Hand 1 - I do just limp behind the clowns preflop. This is one of those times that doesn't look great to C-bet, but you might find yourself surprised how often it folds around when you donkishly bet 1/2 pot into multiple clowns. Yeah you might not fold out any pairs, maybe not even a 5, but you don't have to be right that often and you are more likely than not to be drawn out if you are ahead. Also, there's that once in a blue moon where you improve and stack someone.

Hand 2 - Maybe I just feel contrarian at the moment, but calling the turn is guaranteed +EV and raising isn't. You are more than a 2 to 1 dog if he has a Queen and I don't think he's folding one. You might be able to call the turn and make a sick call on the river if you don't improve.
