uii23 checks, sansibarz bets $37.20 and is all-in, uii23 folds.

should i fold on the turn? i think i have enough implied odds to draw to a fullhouse here because he most likely hit a straight or flush.

hand1.
yes u have odds to boat and its easy call. actually they sometimes bluff king there like that but it takes lot of courage and read to call that and may increase ur variance alot tho it may be +EV still.

hand2.
nah why bother checking. u found out ur beat and had 0 outs. by betting u got more moneies out of draws.
edit: ....he MAY be doing that raise with big draw still and have correct odds fo that but he must be good to do that.

 You played both hands well. Turn is not a fold in 1, and hand 2 is just standard.

griffey24 is on a distinguished road
 I think OOP in hand 1, bet/fold is probably good instead of chek/calling the turn. You're really strong here, you don't wanna risk a free card.
