!Luck is on a distinguished road
 Villain is 51/8/22 over 37 hands.

Pre Flop:Standard
Flop:Good size flop bet, I generally bet 75% with good hands and c-bet bluffs.

Turn: I really have no idea what he can have here, so when in doubt I bet.

River Completes the flush draw, which the villain could have been on. So I need to figure out his range here. Giving his states he could have played AK (though a raise somewhere is likely),kq,jq,jj,qq,tt,aq of hearts so against this my equity is huge here even if i include 77. So the correct move is to bet. On the river the correct move is to call. But the way he played it made it look like a flush draw. Still should I raise this. I really messed this hand up. I think my turn bet was just awful.

Villain is 31/10 over 39 hands

Preflop: Standard
Flop: I am happy with this bet
Turn: I played this way to passive. His range includes 22+,aj,kq and kj, I have a huge lead 77% equity. so I need to raise for value. I don't.
River: Against the same range I am only a 55% favorite but I have the odds to call this.

I need to stop being so weak with my big hands. I went from playing AK and pocket pairs overly aggressively to being too meek I think I am leaving a lot of value on the table and letting poeple draw against me fairly cheap as in hand #1

 1. Turn bet is too small, ~$2 much better. At 2nl I'd jam the river for value

2. I think you should turn your hand into a bluff and jam. With stack sizes I think the flop and turn are fine.

imo:
Hand 1) Just shove, most better hands are going to bet anyway which you're gonna call, while (like spenda said) your still getting value if you bet

Hand 2) I would probably play it the same way and be happy about it. But meh, I'm kinda passive in these spots.

OMG POKERTRACKER IS RIGGED!

Hoopy is an unknown quantity at this point
 Why are we not raising the flop or turn in hand 2 - this seems way too passive play with an over pair.
