Slumming 2/4 a bit had a couple interesting hands

Villain in hand one is kapie who seems like one of the better regs for sure. Kind of aggressive and creative preflop. Im not sure if he would slowplay a flush this deep and really a flush / JT with a heart is about all im behind but still cant ever be that happy when you get raised on the river at 2/4. My flop, turn and river bets were all on the small side and im not sure how that effects how he percieves my range.

In hand 2 villain is another reg. Seems to be somewhat aggro from lp and cbets a little to often. I have been playing aggro raising / check raising a lot of cbets. I bet the turn with the intention to fold to a c/r but full pot jam the river for value if called on the turn and a blank river hits. Good or to thin? Also what kind of bet size do people like on this turn.

hand 1 you have a bluffcatcher for sure here. i guess slowplaying a big flush here keeps his range wide but seems unlikely he would do it so deep. his bet sizing spooks me though. ughhgh i guess i'd fold.

hand 2 seems good...not too thin imo and it seems like a spot where you can def be satisfied folding to a turn raise.

hand 1 that raisesize is just never gonna be a bluff.. so if he's not valueraising thin I think it's a fold.

hand 2 looks good, probably making it a lil bigger on flop. as played I in some way think it'll be easier for him to bluffcatch vs a bigger turnbet.. not to mention that it benefits the purpose of balancing. Although, if he's the type to shove lightly with draws vs bigger bets, but feels uncomfortable doing it vs a smallish bet in a somewhat smallish pot, I'm fine with the chosen betsize.

Hand 1 I guess I fold, it just seems like too sick a bluff spot.

Hand 2 I don't like it, the problem is the ace is too obvious a card to hit you (nut diamonds draw, two pair, a hand like what you have etc). Plus you are in trouble vs a checkraise. I would just check the turn and get one street of value on the riv.

Hand 1: As played, I think this is a fold. I kinda like to check call in those spots since we have good showdown value, but are vulnerable at the same time.

Hand 2: I think I'd rather bet a little bit more and be happy to fold to a check raise. Your bet sizing looks pretty weak to me and this is exactly what your hand is.

Hand 1: Fold, i think this is a flush a whole lot. You have the middle of your vbetting range so its hard to believe pussy 2/4 players would value raise worse.

Hand 2: I'd bet a bigger size, like 100.
