 Hand 1:
-villain is 23/12/3.5
-was kinda confused in this hand. Should I be raising somewhere here? Is this a clear turn raise?

Stack sizes:
Button: $214.35
SB: $199.75

Turn: ($56, 2 players)
SB bets $45, Hero calls.

Results:

Hand 2:
-SB is same villain as hand 1
-CO is 21/13/2 and is also reasonably deep
-I haven't seen SB 3-bet preflop once yet in this whole session, and I've been raising quite often
-is a fold EVER a good idea here, given how rare his 3-bet is, and my position between another player who is also deep?

hand 1) i'm raising turn. as played, i call river too.
hand 2) sick spot. i think call and hope to flop good, and check/fold when i miss. it's probably not optimal, but i don't like 4 betting preflop.
hand 3) meh

The Odds God
1.raise turn
2.call and pray for an ace or a king
3.This is a sick spot. I did this yesterday a couple of times and I succeded sometimes but sometimes not. I generally feel that bluffing in reraised pots is not so profitable because late in the night, I donked some money by doing that . You might as well call and see what he does on turn. If he fires again on turn, he has a enough balls that he deserves a pot. If he checks both turn and river, fire the river. It is the only way to win the pot.

Your option is also good. Hell, I don't know what to do here.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

 hand 1 - yah I flat called since I figured either two things were possible. He has a flush, in which case its likely better than mine given PF action. He doesn't have a flush, and I don't wanna blow him out of the pot. Is a call that bad?

hand 2 - ok, so everyone at least calls here? I wasn't sure if it was +EV calling, if I know I'm only going anywhere in the hand when I hit, which is only like 25% of the time.
