Want thoughts on if these spots are good 2nd barrels. Playing $2-5 at Parx on a Monday night. Full tables.
Hand 1 - 1st hand at the table and i pick up A
K
and raise to $25 after posting in mid position. Guy named Niko calls (I've played with him very sparingly before and he's sitting next to his finance - I don't have great reads on him). Flop is 2
2
4
and I make it $35 and he calls. Turn is a 6
and I made it $75 putting Niko on a small pair and thinking I could rep a big pair that includes a heart. My stack to start the hand was $500 and he covered.
Hand 2 - different table and I pick up 9
9
UTG and made it $25. Older Asian guy, Wilson calls in the BB. Flop is monotone 6
7
10
and I bet $35 after he checked. Turn is a 3
and he checks and I make it $65. I have $800 and he covers to start the hand. My general read is that Wilson is loose preflop but pretty straight forward post with a lean to the tight side.
Thoughts on both hands appreciated.
