1) easy bet

2) Depends on Villain and bet size. Here I would make a smallish raise i guess.

1) shove for value

2) 3bet pf

No brainer raise river, to 35-40

reads???

1) i prefer a x/c, let villain bluff his missed heart/76 if he's aggro... if he's a passive donk then just bet

2) +1 on 3bet pre, the only problem with raising the river is that you have the T in your hand, meaning you'll only get called by 9* at the worst... i'm leaning towards the call

1. c/c
2. I would bet turn probably

But since theres 4 spades on board and villain has 2(?) its more unlikely that hero might do this even with bare blocker.

This.
Maybe c/c hand 1 if you seen villian make ******ed bluffs.

1 depends. C/c against some and shove for value against others. I cc against bad aggro donks who dont realize they cant rep and I shove for value against SD monekys and regs. Also, I bet a little less on the floop and turn to make the STP ratio a little bit bigger on the river.



In the 2nd hand there are a few things to consider. First of all any reads? Fishy players will block bet something they dont call a raise with very often. That said we could prolly raise small'ish as they wont 3bet a worse hand ever and they will sigh and call whatever weak hand they have. Thinking players could easily bet this small to induce a bluff or a value raise from 2nd nuts, and I would also hate raising to something small and then fold if he shoves. Stack sizes are a bit awkward for raise/folding. 30 or 40bb deeper Id like a raise/fold to something like 65 a lot more

hand 1 is pretty close

some opponents never check straight there

some due

with 2 flush draws a j10 combo draw is definitely pretty possible so im ok with a check

the only hand you might be able to bet out aa making top set on the river, most weaker sets or 2 pair fold to strength from you on the river

hand 2 is probably a b/c the turn although i'd consider checking river if he flats
