Hand #1 is a fold unless you think people overbluff run-outs like these -- the turn is great for your range and you show up otr with lots of two pair+, not to mention better one pairs (e.g. KxQ).

Hand #2 is just a call given competent play. But if you think villain 1) raises most or all bare 6x for value, or 2) raises only some 6x for value but raises most 96/65/63 ott, you can jam. I don't know how 25nl Merge plays, so use your own judgement as to whether people are bad in the particular way that allows jamming. (Doesn't seem unreasonable.)

Btw, when you post unconverted or handmade HHs, use suit images, like . They can be pretty hard to read otherwise.

+1 to above, tho I certainly would not jam that at NL50 given the multi straight turn.

If they are raising 96,56,36 on this type of turn, oh yeah, FK, you aren't using a HUD...

i have heard that heads up displays are good

i have heard that heads up displays are overrated when you play heads up

Fold first hand.

Last hand, he has trips or boat. Most likely a boat since he would check turn if he hits one pair(6x) unless he is a totalt fish(your call her). This line screams sets turn boat or pair improved to a boat.
