BB ($49.20)
UTG ($41.30)

Flop: ($6.50) 7, Q, J (2 players)

b/f turn in hand 1
hand 2, eh its a shitty spot. I probably fold turn until I have some reads. and i don't mind the bet size on the flop, the board is dry so you want to string him along with a lot of his mediocre strength hands which make up a huge part of his calling range.
Flopping quads and boats like its my job

hand 1: bet. also hes not really unknown you do know that he is half stacked. and if you have 25 hands you should know some stuff about him.
hand 2: bet flop harder. and then on turn i would probably tank and then shove. although that might change depending on what you knew about him from the 25 hands or w/e.

 1) bet the flop harder, like 5.5-6. bet the turn. i dont think im folding to a shove.

2)tbh, i dont know if im 3 betting here vs a full stack unknown. i certainly dont think its bad, but i wouldnt do it, and if i did it would be to $6. kind of gross turn spot. im kind of stuck between shoving and folding. i definitely think calling is your worst option. i err on the side of folding however, but im obv not too happy about the scenario.

1) bet/fold or check/call is OK. You definitely don't want to call a shove here... at 100nl this is the flush if someone shoves pretty much everytime

2) I think you can fold, he had a Kx flushdraw
if you notice villain betting out a lot of scarecards call him down but for the most part you can follow opponents bets of strength as signs of a strength of their hand.. until opponent shows you a reason to sniff out BS

well if he has a draw we wanna get it in now and i think he has one a lot. unless you plan on folding a lot of rivers it seems better to get it in now.

 Hand 1 - Easy b/f here... definitely don't check

Hand 2 - I flat this turn and re-evaluate on river. I don't think I'd ever shove here... unless I knew villain was a donk or something.
