Hand 1 on the turn is a fold as your drawling dead to so many hands the only hands that you would be ahead of is something like A8dd or a complete bluff. I probably peel the flop like you did here and evaluate on the turn.

Hand 2 is a fistpump call as only the nuts has you beat right now.

YUP.

Any chance hand 1 SB has QQ/JJ/TT? Those are the only realistic hands that shove and you beat. If you want to throw up a little in your mouth and fold, sure... puke fold might be overboard

Hand 1: Fold to flop raise, our equity isn't that great even vs. a range that includes a lot of semi-bluffs. As played, turn is a fold as well barring some sort of soul read.

Hand 2: Well played if you snap called the turn. If V has the nut flush then it's a cooler.

Obv folding to raise in hand 1 is exploitable, but since he seems all giddy and a newb, I doubt the raise ever means anything except a monster. I have definitely made this fold against the right player(s). Plus, half the deck makes the turn very uncomfortable, especially if he persists. Folding turn is standard.

Hand 2, I would size my bet larger to define my hand, it will look like a strong hand trying to charge draws, then when the heart comes its an easy bomb/fold turn. As played, just call and hope for the best. Although, if he's good, I seriously doubt he is shipping less than Axhh.
