2 hands that came up at a B&M recently where I wasn't really sure of my best play. 10 handed 1-2 NL table max buy-in is $100. Table is pretty standard. No super aggressives playing. Many hands get limped multi way. Standard preflop raise is $5-6 with re-raises preflop usually very strong hands.

Hand 1.

I have just shy of a full stack and get QJo in BB. Several limpers and I check. Flop comes QJX all clubs. Pot is $7. I bet out $10 and get raised behind by Villain 1 who goes all-in for $25 over and he gets called by the big stack at the table who has me covered. I put V1 on most likely a big club with a pair possibly TPTK with a made flush being unlikely. V2 has been playing alot of hands and has lost the last couple of hands I have seen him in usually getting caught with a river bluff on weakly played boards. He could have a wide range. Maybe Ac, 2 pr , a strong Q. or str8 draw. He may have a small flush here, but I would expect a push to drive me out.

Do you find a fold here? Push? Call and evaluate the turn?

Hand 2.

Hero is dealt 99 and limps in middle position. raised behind to $6 and re-raised to $18. Both villains have close to buy-in and I have them covered. In 2 orbits I haven't seen either one showing a lot of aggression, but not donking off money either. I put V1 on JJ+/ AQ/AJs+ and V2 on KK/AA.

Folds around to me, do you call here for implied odds hoping to see a set or lay this down? Pot is $ 28 or so. My impression from V1 is that he may call or lay this down, but I don't see a push coming here.

bode is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1 is a clear fold. 2 pair just isnt that good here.

hand 2 - i dont think youre getting the odds to set hunt here, and i will almost always lay 99 down here with a raise and re-raise in front of me.

#1 fold
You have 4 outs at best, and some of them could be in either of the other 2 hands

#2 You can't call $16 when they have $100 stacks hoping to catch a set
