Its amazing what people will call me with here. I was a little disappointed to see him fold though. Readless, is it better to reraise ~3x here or flat out shove. I felt a reraise shows a lot more strength, whereas shoving conceals it a little. Any thoughts?

hand 1: fold. is there any way you are ahead? i would c-bet less also, same info for a 225-250 bet i think. and its early, and chips are valuable. i dont even hate a check.

hand 2: raise to 210-240. you have kings, dont scare him off.

Hand 1 I call pf instead of making a reraise.

Hand 2 I bet 240-300, you'll get a lot more value out of your hand that way.

1st hand: I'd either play it the same or check/call one barrel.

2nd hand: You lose a lot of value by doing this, because the right flop will let you stack lots of hands (smaller pairs or AQ types) that will fold to a push. A normal re-raise is better, to 300ish.

Hand 1: no way are you pot committed after check raise. Fold.

Hand 2: Raise to like 300 preflop.

Hand 1
Call preflop.
I think I check this flop since our hand seems to strong to bet/fold on this board.

Hand 2 240.
