Ok, so I would put this in tales of poker, but I actually have questions about the play.

In hand 1, do I gain any value by checking behind on the flop? Is there any point in slow playing this with an already large pot?

In hand 2, pre-flop, is calling after it gets 3-bet and capped correct? I think I read somewhere that calling here is equal to cold-calling. Also, on the turn, I was only given the option to call, not to raise. Does anyone know why?

Hand 1: WTF does UTG cap PF then c/f the flop with LMFAO... your line is fine here...

Hand 2:
if you are going to cap the flop you have to lead the turn... when you check it makes me think that either the 9 helped you or it scared you... if you bet, then it probably says your not to worried about the 9 but i'm sure you bet a K in that spot to see if someone sucked out on you... i think it's an easy turn lead i think you missed 2bb from 3rd player (assuming he would call if you lead that 1bb extra besides the AI player), and assuming he doesn't credit your bet on the river that's another 1bb...

 Hand 2: why cap the flop? I'm not worried about any draw on that board I would wait for the turn to build a sidepot.

Possibly, if he did he shouldn't have, he's got odds for his 2 outer.

hand 1 was great because you had position on the other players.

hand 2 could've used a turn bet as the pot is big enough to justify drawing still.
