Hand 1: staaaaaandard

Hand 2: Bet a lot more on the turn. Like twice what you bet. Call river as played. I'm not folding a straight for those odds.

Hand 1 is completely standard. Hand 2 turn bet sucks, call river given odds.

hand 2 is prety much an instcall... You did a decent job of disgusing your hand strength and if teh villian has the fh i would expect a bigger bet than less than half the pot on the river...it looks more like hes is valuebetting a queen a lot here

Hand 1:

Don't know why you'd think you misplayed that, looks 100% standard to me. You have a monster draw, and should have plenty of fold equity. You should be able to fold out higher FDs with a push, and two pair isn't real likely on this board. Against a set, you're like 60/40. Folding is too weak, flat calling puts you in an ugly spot on a blank turn. Nothing to do but shove.

Hand 2:

Turn bet is weak as hell, that's less than half the pot. I'd call river as played, you have to be good less than 25% of the time here and you see KJ/random Ks/busted flush/J9/another AJ at least that often.

hand 1: well done
hand 2: i think you have to call this river. villain does this with j9 or Kx

Hand 1 is super standard. You have top pair with a boatload of outs to improve. I would shove with a smile and know im a favourite over a bunch of possible holdings.

Hand 2, bet more on the turn for sure. As played i would NEVER fold that river. its a less than half pot bet and you have top straight. This could easily be a lower straight of just a random king. I would almost consider shoving the river, but i guess calling is okay. Your hand is majorly underrepped here to btw, he can easily have you on AA or AQ here and thinks he is betting trip kings for value.
