Any reads?
you certainly are never folding as played
I might bet about 7k on the turn for value

Not really beside the fact that I have been playing a tad aggressive, but I had hands to back it up. I was thinking about raising the flop but opted to call to not bloat the pot with just TPTK, is there any value in that though?

This hand I raised with the intention of already 4 betting and folding to a 5 bet shove because that player had previously 3 bet and folded to a 30 BB shove, but feel like it was maybe still too out of line? I was running at about 25/18 he was at 35/25/5. W

first hand - raise more pre, raise OTF, bet OTT
second hand - fold.

Hand 1:
I would raise the flop. Tiny donkbets are often draws, soon would charge him a bigger price. Donking with a gutter is less likely, so I would go ahead and bet the turn too. If he has a big hand he will likely let you know.

As played call the river.

^^ I think that the main reason of raising otf is in that our hand is in top 20% of our range.

Why is that a reason to raise?

We have to raise the flop id say, just incase he has draws. I think overall your line is fairly passive, like the turn is really weird both players check? you now have a gutty to go with your hand and need to be betting all the way coz you have to charge your opponent to draw out on you, usually I like to charge them through their teeth.

No icm here and hands like AQ,A5,55 proly don't donklead like this, lets raise flop to set up turn/river bombs, im proly going broke here, esp on that turn. Then bombing all non club run outs otherwise checking it down
