 Is hand one standard? Do you guys play it any differently? Just seeing how my line looks.

Hand two is just posted out of frustration. Ugh. I wanted to vomit.

Hand 1 I'm definitely reraising preflop. Doesn't need to be huge. Something like $8 would work well. As played I think I like checking behind on the turn. And I think you need a good read to call that river push.

Hand 2 is goot. What did you put villian on? I think I'm value-betting here almost everytime. Something like 1/2 should be good. If you get raised then you can toss your hand easily. (I can't believe he called you down w/55 LOL)

Busted flush in hand 1? Played fine - easy river call.

Hand 2, I think you need to bet higher on each street because suits and connectors. I guess he wasn't folding regardless though.

 hand1 nice
hand 2.
check raise?
especially if opp is aggro or a bit dumb. I might push or really badly overbet the turn if i think opp has anypart of it and thinks im on bluff.
We all hate that river

 hand 1: i'm ahead of everything on the flop except the 1 combination of AA, the 1 combination of 44, and some stupid 4x hand. Normally I slow down with TPTK when 2 players call a flop bet, but in this instance i'm almost always best so I fired again on the turn. Don't want someone rivering that flush.

I probably should reraise this preflop 6-max though with only a min-raise in front. (sorry, random)

River was a toughie. I had been showing strength on the flop and turn, so this bet was quite a surprise. First reaction was some random 4 or a busted flush draw, but after I went through his range, I decided that this call was +EV. AA (even 44) would make sense, but very unlikely mathematically. I'm good here 1 outta 3 times I'd like to believe. Villain flipped AA.

Based on the little I had seen, villain was splashing around in a lot of pots. He liked to call. I was thinking flush draw which would give him a chance to bluff at the pot, but I'm not winning another bet on the end if I fire a third barrell if thats the case. He could also be slowplaying something like a set waiting to river-screw me here, and by checking I avoid facing a large 2-bet on this river. Of course, he could have something stupid like QJ where he almost invariably checks behind and I'd be kicking myself...

Yeah, I think your thought process is good. I guess I was just being a little results oriented. I saw him call you down with 55 and assumed he was a typical calling station 6-max fish that has the "he must have AK" syndrome. But I like the river check to induce a bluff.
