Hand one is a super trivial fold - probably on the turn too.

Hand two is tough. It's pretty hard for him to 3bet pre and get to this point in the hand with a draw of any kind - so he'd have to be turning something weird into a bluff. It really looks like he's just slowplayed something like AA or AK (even though we block those hands a little bit). I guess we probably have to sigh fold given the runout.

H1 - I'd 3 bet bigger to like $1.20. Horrible flop, but nice bet. Have to charge draws. Turn is a tough fold. River is an easy fold.

H2 - Need like 26% equity to call the river. Hard to put 8x in his pre 3 bet range. We are beat by 23 combos of AA, AK, AQ and AJ. We chop with AT or less but this range is not likely to 3 bet. Unless you have a read that V has a bluff range here, I'd fold.
