Hand 1) You can fold to turn donkbet imo

Hand 2) if hes 43/2 you SHOULDNT be double, much less triple barreling, he is more likely to hold on with a pair.

Hand 2) I would slow down after flop bet got called. with only 44 hands he is somewhat unknown but still has shown to be loose and passive, no reason to beleive you can get him off his hand.

Hand1: I would bet more flop. Probably you have the best hand but there is tons of bad cards for you in the deck. Any club, any four, any overcard.

And your turn raise sucks because it screams: "I want this pot now but I don want commit my stack". Its not minraise, its not standard. And if hero smells weakness he just took this pot down any2.

I would just call turn.

Hand2: CBET MUST be larger. As played, check/fold the turn because of your smallish cbet.

Also looks like all of your bets are too small.

I dont understand wtf you're doing on the turn in hand 1. I would just call and see what the river brings.

In hand 2 you cbet like a pussy. Make it like $14 although he's not folding here anyways. This turn and river are awful spot to 2 and 3 barrel anyone. You're trying to rep exactly KQ or AQ and thats not going to work with the bet size you used on the flop. A fish isn't folding a pair here and a good hand reader is either calling down with a better hand than you have or raising you and repping the Q.
