1: Wondering why you didn't bet the flop in hand 1. What's with this guy limping UTG? You can't check so you pretty much have to take a shot at pushing him off his hand.
2: He's calling with any low/mid diamond, raising any Q+ diamond and folding otherwise. But you beat everything else. I guess you don't want to show by checking behind?

What do you think UTG is reraising on the turn with in hand #1?
Hand #2 I like, there's so much crap out there now that he has to be afraid of a push.

no idea what he was check raising with in hand 2, but he calls too much so i didnt want to push turn as bluff and get called by the nutflush draw. if i had as6s or something i might have pushed over his weird c/r.

I like both. I'd probably bet the flop in the first hand but I understand your reason for checking. I also might bet a little more on river for hand 2 bc I think this is a good spot for bb to c/r bluff you.

Hand 1: Good
Hand 2: I think you're good way too often to turn your hand into a bluff here. I don't like, especially the bet size. And like bdawg said he can c/r bluff your weakish river bet with a lot of hands.

Don't you think if he folds in hand 2 you had him beat anyway?..

if hes bluffing flop with a mediocre diamond, he will always check the river and try to get a free showdown. he might have Td9 or something too.

Hand 1: UTG probably had a set but got "screwed" on the river. Nice bluff
Hand 2: i don't like this. If he has a diamond it's probably relatively high, and your hand has good showdown value if he doesn't have one.

On hand #1, why weren't you worried about a lone ace? or at those stakes and those lines it is highly unlikly?

I don't like 1, just because your river bet is so small! ... he kinda has to have exactly 2 diamonds with no ace or air for this to work. I guess you can maybe not even beat air, so you have to bet.
2... at least it seems like you are suck betting more with a big stack behind...
Both these hands seem to require villian to make a big laydown; 1st more than a second (because at least you have somethin'... and maybe higher trips or baby flush folds... and maybe AK no diamond or AA calls you wierdly.)

at first i didn't like hand 1. i think it looks like they missed the flush draw as well. i'm not sure why you chose to take the free card instead of betting the flop tho...??

if I'm villain hand 2 convinces me more than hand 1 although the fun part of hand one is being able to bluff both of the flushes that can hit
villain makes crying call in hand 2 with low flush?

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
