Hand 1 is easily a call. You're getting 4.7:1 and you still have 20% equity against hands that are currently ahead so you're breakeven worst case. Add in some 2 pairs and 44 and you profit.

Hand 1) very easy call
Hand 2) fold to the turn check raise, we're crushed here almost always

mitchybenny yeah at the flop i was undecided in a raise to defend my hand from a possible flush, or call in order to make a trap. At turn villain checks and there is a possible flush, i even thought to check, but eventually i ended to give bet and he moved all in. After his all in i knew i was beaten but i couldnt fold.

So at the hand 1 i should checked at Turn, right?

Why very easy call? What range do you give to villain?

its doesnt really matter. the pots like $15 and you only need to call $3 more, he could turn over a flush and it'd still be profitable to call him

I meant 87. Small sample but a true 23/23 is throwing in some SCs UTG too.

In hand no 1 I would call with good odds and a LAG opponent.

Hand no 2 is probably a fold. When passive villians show strength, they usually have a good hand and he is representing a flush or overpair. Your hand isn't good enough to go broke with

Hand 1 i think checking back the turn is ok and C/C the river if un-improved.
