1. I raise a little bigger PF, but its not a big deal. Flop im going to also bet more, but again, thats just my preference for bet sizing. Turn and river seem fine, I wouldnt hate a push on the river, but I dont think a check/call is bad against an unknown villain

2. Against a calling stationg Ill probably go pot-pot-pot here

Both of these hands seem fine to me, only thing I differ on is the bet sizing.

1. A read would be great here....but I don't mind this at all. His river bet screams "you're so dead" or "please go away," so I think overall it's probably wise to call here.

2. I like. Good value bet on the river, weaker hands will check behind.

Warpe,

Hand 1: Well played. I dont a river fold is that bad though, but I would call as you did.

Hand 2: I bet more on the flop, but the rest is fine. If he has shown aggression postflop before, I wouldnt mind a river check to get him to bluff a missed draw or some worse pair he would maybe fold to a riverbet.

 gabe i don't understand blocking this river

only the backdoor draw completed, the river is a blank for villains range, which we seem to have had crushed to begin with.

when i first looked at hand i read it as opponent going allin for $160, not $116, so the stacks are kinda shallow for a blocking bet. sorry about that.
