I'd raise the 77 preflop. As played I'd check the turn. As as played I'd bet the river and fold to a raise.

----

I'd check the flop with the QTo. As played I'd check the river and expect to win sometimes vs hands like 98.

I agree with you on hand 1.

I think you misread hand 2. I would bet all three streets.

Yup I thought we had a straight draw on the flop haha.

Bet bet bet hand 2 looks good.

I'd check river on hand 1 cause I just don't think we are good here a lot of the time, but bet on hand 2.

I agree with you on both hands.

As played I would still bet the river. If you think too rationally you may talk yourself out of a bet. It seems people will still call here with worse even though you can't imagine with what. The turn 3 flush may have caused the villian to under rep his hand. He may just never fold pairs. He may think your bluffing. He could have a worse flush.

We have a flush. Not a great flush, but I'd expect to be called by worse often enough to make this a bet/fold.

Hand 1, river is probably too thin. Asking people to call one pair no flush is a pretty tall order and nobody's folding 8c+. You get value from two pairs, sets, and lower flushes that found a reason to call the flop. You lose to a lot of better flushes that had overcards on the flop.

I'd raise pre in hand 2 as well. Turn is close in hand 1, but I like a bet. I'd bet your flush.

Hand 1:

Raise preflop. 77 is near the top 10% of hands and that's good enough for a open raise in this position. Would raise top 25% here even if players behind you are loose.

Turn: excellent card for your opponents range. He could have called the flop with a flush draw and can also have hit the A for top Pair if he called with overcards. You are not likely to have the best hand. Not many worse hands would call a bet because your betting range is strong too. You can't get to fold a hand with many outs against you. -> check

River: you have a flush. It is not very likely your opponent has a flush because that would bet into you often. After all you would check most hands if you didn't have a flush. So if the opponent had a flush he should bet to get some value. He doesn't -> you should bet.


Hand 2:

Bet on all three streets. If you get no counterplay your pair/kicker is very likely good. If opponent checkraises on the river then fold. You will get called by many worse hands because he can think you might bluff a missed flush draw /straight draw (and you probably would).

I'd be more tempted to chk hand 2 than hand 1. I'd bet both in gamespeed 3/6

hand 1 i check river.
hand 2 i bet/fold.

I'd bet river in hand 1 expecting to value cut myself a fair amount but also still get paid off by a lot of worse hands. We can probably discount the Kc as weak players will almost unanimously donk it. And auto-raise pre.

Hand 2 looks good til river. Now bet again, expecting to be nitrolled a fair amount, but also to win plenty more.

HE IS LEARNING THE LOLIVE!
