1. Villain is 23/18, 60% c-bet over 50 hands, and has folded to 4/4 3-bets already. I haven't played a pot with him post flop yet. My image os likely semi LAG and fairly aggro/reggy.

Preflop: AQ is doing well here and I have position, given his tendency so far to fold to 3 bets, I feel like there's no value from 3 betting in this spot and that my hand is too good to just turn into a bluff.

Flop: When he checks this flop it seems kind of strange, I'm not sure what to make of his range at this point but getting raised didn't seem like fun and i don't think there's value from a whole lot more. I can't see him c/c a draw here much either.

Turn. Now whe he checks again I feel like this is an excellent card to get value from stuff like TT etc and that I have the best hand almost always.

Until that is, he raises. Here is my reasoning...If he has air he rarely just c/fs the flop so there can't be too much of that in his range. he probably never turns marginal hands like TT, JJ into a bluff. But then I'd also expect him to bet a K like all the time on the flop and there are very few combos of monster hands here, given we block QQ. I guess it's possible he's reatdredly checking the flop with a K to try to induce then feels he must auto check trips b/c he sucks on the turn but idk, still not sure.

Do we have to stick some air in here and make a peel given how little he actually reps?

2. Villain is 19/14 over 75 hands and has been 3 betting 7.5%, folds to c-bets 63%, I haven't really played much with him post flop.

Preflop: Std

Flop: I c-bet here because there's a ton of stuff that he'll just fold to our utg range and we can turn equity or barrel good cards enough for betting flop to be pretty std imo.

Turn: I make my sizing such that mid PPs etc will not feel too uncomfrotable peeling again, I hardly ever exepct to be raised here, but it happens. Again, I just don't see what he's turning into a bluff here. This one seems like an easier fold that the 1st one since I have an easier time putting 87s 97s 76s in his range here, and I don't see why weaker hands SD value type hands that call the flop would raise the turn instead of just flatting if they thought I was FOS.

I would fold both pretty easily. You can try and dissect their plays all you want but its just highly unlikely your opponent is bluffing in either spot.

1. id call the turn c/r

2. id cbet the flop bigger, like 3.5 or 4. this is a spot where your opp will much more likely play passively facing a large bet from UTG. im not thinking of folding to the turn raise
