 i like 2.

i just dont know about 1. even loose/passives raise AQ, and do you think hes capable of floating with A high 2 streets? the only other hand that makes sense is Q8, A8 or A4 or 5. i actually really want to call this.

 I think betting stronger on your blocks would be better, because these bets look weak/small/scared and you're gonna induce all sorts of bluff raises.

Would you really bet $30 in hand 1 with AQ? would you really bet $40 in hand 2 with the rivered flush? So I think villain can easily raise/push you over your hands to these small blocks.

Ya this is all true but you have to work with the stack sizes you got. I mean sure I could block bet 2/3 the pot but that means that when I find out I'm beat I'm getting like 20:1 or whatever.

The point is the point of the read is that these guys are basic basic first level thinkers.
