2/2 NL in Florida. Game is generally a somewhat loose/passive limpfest, with a couple deviant players that can actually put in raises preflop.

Hand 1 : Hero ($120), Villain covers. Little read on him from one orbit, seems much too loose preflop but also has shown up raising decent hands preflop.

Preflop : UTG+1 limps, villain limps in MP, HJ limps, Hero (CO) raises AQo to $12. Only Villain calls.

Flop : 7d5c5s. Villain checks, Hero bets $15, Villain calls.

Standard Cbet on a hard to hit board and I'm likely to be best.

Turn : Ad. Villain checks. Hero?

Interesting decision. It could hit a decent amount of his flop peel range. However it can also induce a lot of folds from his weak made hands, though I'm not going to have an easy time getting value from them anyways on this board. I decide to check here, shorten the hand and possibly get more value from weak & near dead made hands, and possibly induce a bluff.

River : 9d. Villain checks. Hero bets $20.

Hand 2 : Hero ($150), all 3 villains cover. After a couple orbits, BB has the look of a TAG. Villain just bought in for the max at the table, middle aged asian lady, and HJ is an older loose/passive black man (Villain in first hand), that does at least have a seemingly respectable raising range preflop.

Dealt KK UTG. Hero raises to $10. Villain, HJ, and BB all call.

Flop : 754 . BB Checks.

First decision point. With an SPR of 3.5, any bet made without a serious commitment plan is likely an error. But bet/getting it in against passives or a TAG seems like a poor decision. Bet/folding is just as unappealing to me. And it can get difficult to find out how to proceed when my CBet is called in position. I'm going to check and likely c/r AI to a bet & call or check/fold to a bet/raise behind me

Hero checks, and the flop checks through.

Turn : Q . BB Checks. Hero Bets $20, Villain calls, HJ/BB fold.

Don't love my bet sizing here, don't hate it either. Probably should have added a redbird for $25. What do you think?

River : J making a threeflush. Hero blocks for $15.

Hand #1:

I'd first top of to $200, since your stack size limits the amount of moves you can make such as double and triple barreling, set mining and floating. I would bet small on the turn(around $25-30) , since V could still call with a draw or 7x in this spot. If he has 7x or a small PP, he is not calling a big bet yet you make the bet big enough so you deny hands such as 86 and 98 proper odds to call. As played on the river, I'd bet the same but this is a bad card since it puts an additional overcard to 7x and does complete 86.

Hand #2:

Checking is terrible on this board, since it is well-coordinated with both straight and flush draws. I would bet close to pot here ($35-40) to set up a pot sized bet on the turn if a safe card hits. The problem with c/r is that there is a chance the board checks through and you do not have the opportunity to raise. As played, bet bigger on the turn as well, close to $30-35. This is a good card because it does hit a lot of V's calling ranges. Bad card, but I like a bet of $35 to get value from worse Qx. Sure, it sucks if we get shoved on but we can easily fold and hopefully top off our stack.
