I would fold hand one, mbut bet the flop.

Hand two I would bet closer to half pot, and then fold to a raise.

bump

Why aren't you betting either of these flops?

The first one, a c/r looks too strong, and the villain is bound to have connecting with a piece or is drawing to something. As played- fold river.

Second one, cbets are scary on 1 suit flops. As played, it's an easy fold on river.

First hand, I thought c/raising traps all his bluff attempts and being a 1/2 stacker I thought if he did hit this flop he wouldn't fold to c/raise anyway.

Second hand, really dunno why I didn't cbet. I think I do that on monotone flops w/ midpairs too much.

Hand1: b/3bet flop; call river not many kings in his hand range

Hand 2: I'm fine with wanting to check it down, though i'd probably bet the flop. Your river bet makes NO sense. You're bluffing trying to get 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to fold? Bet the pot. As played fold.
