 First round at the table, no reads, heeeere we go....
Hero is UTG+1 posting BB
Dealt to Hero AdQd

Hand 1
UTG calls, Hero raises, 4 folds, UTG calls

Flop: 1033r
UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG calls

Turn: 8
UTG checks, Hero checks

River: 4
UTG bets, Hero folds

-Only reason I question my play is b/c UTG shows 44 for a fullhouse. If I bet the turn he can lay it down. I ask him in chat if he folds to a turn bet. He says "nope" However, is the right play betting the turn here? I got my free card, don't I take it?

Hand 2

Hero is UTG(5 Handed)
Dealt to Hero:KsJc

Hero raises, 2 folds, SB 3bets, BB calls, Hero calls

Flop: AsQs2h
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: Js
SB bets, BB folds, Hero raises, SB calls

River: Ad
Sb checks, Hero checks

What's the play on the river, can I possibly be good? I cannot beat any two big cards, but do I value bet? What's the play?

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 Hand 1: Find

Hand 2: given the way you played it, the check behind is the better play. I would have bet the flop and attempted to freecard the turn and see a much cheaper showdown. There's also a chance you take this down unimproved on the flop.

Hand 1: Posting blind UTG+1? You raised the flop for a freecard, and you took it, which I think is correct. I dont think he would have folded the turn.

Hand 2: I bet the flop when it is check to me.

 Not sure what you're getting at, should I not be posting blinds, rahter let the get to me, I figure that quicker i get in the game the more money there is to be made. Is this an incorrect assumption?

in a full ring table, yes this is true, but in a shorthanded game, anyone posting blinds is wasting money
