Hand 1:

Is this guy really claiming that he's folding 65????? Or is he saying that's what he thinks I have to try to get me to show?

Hand 2:

Not sure what to make of this. The guy's a rock/nit (19.7/2.1/1.3 over 1000+ hands, WtSD 17%, W$SD 54%) and normally pretty passive. The flop CR had me thinking I was outkicked or boated on already and I actually thought I was smoked on the turn and river (he's been known to limp AK/AQ in EP) until he checked. WTF did he have that he CR'd the flop but couldn't call the river bet? Does anyone think he's nitty enough to fold 44, A4, or even AQ- here? I was pretty nitty this session; I'm not sure if he uses PT or not.

Here are my comments. I'm not one of the top players here nor have a lot of experience, but I'll give it a go.

Hand 1: Reraise PF. C/C, C/R flop can be alternatives, betting isn't wrong 3 way I guess, but make it more. Turn C/C. River is more of a bluff than a value bet, I think it's spewing usually on higher stakes.

Hand 2: Actually I don't think he has an Ace. If you think he did, you could have shoved on the flop. A could find a reraise on turn somewhere.
Looked at stacks compared to the pot the shove on the river is ok, but as played the whole way, I could only see a full house call you.

Hand 1, you gotta reraise with QQ. Especially if the initial raise was only 3xBB

Im sure he's not folding 56, that would make no sense at all. So I don't know what he's claiming exactly.

Hand 2, I don't really like a 5xBB raise with AJo, a raise like that (at least where I play at absolute) normally says AA KK or QQ. He took a stab at the flop probably hoping you had a PP and were scared of the A. I'm not really sure what he might have had though.

and noone at 10NL is a big enough nit to fold the full house here I don't think. Your push wasn't even that big
