NL200 Stars. Turn Decisions vs unknowns and then river plan.

[guilt_trip]

Usually a PLO player but have decided to move to the variance free wonderland that is NLHE (compared to PLO anyway). Pretty sure I butchered these hands (will post rivers later if anyone is interested) but I'd like to know what you think (comments on all streets if you want!).

As I said these are against virtual unknowns and have so little hands it would be pointless posting the stats (ie <20 hands)

If you plan to just call what would be your plan on the river (ie which cards do you value bet, c/f, c/c etc. etc.)

Probably trivially easy for you guys but I hope you can impart some of your wisdom onto me as the turn is where I make most of my mistakes!

I think leading the turn is probably best in hand 1 because you're still ahead often and he's gonna check behind the 2nd best hand often. As played I'm probably calling and maybe bet/folding a blank river and c/f'ing some bad rivers.

I think raising could be a bit crazy in hand 2 but we're definitely losing value if we just call and check the river. I don't know what to do exactly.

In hand one he is short, bet turn for the reasons above but dont fold ever. As played its all in ftw, i mean a button limper? where not up against phil ivey here.


Edit: lol im tired didnt see that overpairs pwns us in hand 2 and i dont want to think about the hand again.
