Hand 2:

As a standard, I fold preflop here. But given the previous hand and likely steam coming from villain's head, I decided to flat. (I'm quite comfortable playing a wide range of hands post flop usually)

I like the play on hand 1

I would flat hand 2 on the flop, and see what happens on the turn. Luckily you've got positional advantage, TP+FD gives you pretty decent equity.

This, no point in raising the flop bet just yet with only TP. I think I'd be a little cautious as well if the FD completes but I would go for value but be wary if he's willing to play for stacks.

No one else is loling at flatting a 4b?

I'm beginning to not think this. I did call, but I think raise/folding might be better. Villain imo calls a lot, and my hand has great value vs a ton of his random draws type hands. I don't think flatting is horrible either, small hand small pot ya know?

yup, i hear ya. I've been convinced its a leak of mine to flat 4bets. I just get too obsessed with the whole "his continuance range is AA/KK only, so no use in 5bet shoving". I need to change this.
