2 hands. 2nl 6max

I am not allowed to post formatted hands on this site for some reason so I will have to use weaktight. I am sorry for this. I also tried posting this on twoplustwo.com but it seems that there are tons of posts there and mine got ignored and is no longer on the front page. I do not want to seem like a bother, but I am just looking for a little help.

First hand - weaktight.com/3369250

Villain is 58/0 over only 12 hands. I'm not sure what his range is when he takes this line, maybe QT+ and 7x maybe diamonds on occasion/random bluffs but I don't think I can continue even to the mini raise. Thoughts on my turn bet?


Second hand- weaktight.com/3369260

I have no reads on villain other than he is 75/0 over 4 hands. Preflop Most of the time I will raise KQo in a spot like this but this was one of the times that I chose not to. Flop is standard, but I chose to fold turn because I thought it would be hard for me to play a lot of rivers because I expect to face another bet.

In hindsight I think villains turn range can contain a lot of worse hands than mine (any Kx,Jx,Tx as well as all the two pair combos and flushes) and I probably should at least call this turn. I could have also b/f this turn and probably c/f rivers.

I find it hard to put players like these on any meaningful hand ranges, is this difficult for anyone else? What are you guys doing most of the time on the turn?

H1: Solid, fold the turn.

H2: Always raise preflop, not 90% of the time. Call the turn. he has weaker Ks, Qx and weaker pairs in his range; you can't fold getting 3-1 here with this much equity. If he does bet the river he'll likely give you an awesome price you can snap vs his range, if he comes out blasting his range is ldo strong and you've got an easy fold.

i posted converted hands for OP.

H1- cause of his weak flop bet i'd raise him to 0,18-0,20 and fold to a 3 bet
as played i'd check back turn since he's got a lot of 7x,Qx in his range.

H2- i'd raise preflop to 0.10
call flop, call turn . if river is club/J/T/Q fold, otherwise call river but not a shove.

Thank you for the replies, and also for converting the hands for me.

Carroters, how do you feel about betting the turn? I thought about it, and if villain has a lot of these weaker hands in his range, he will surely call a bet with them again, and I also do not give up the initiative. It may make for a weird river spot though depending on the card.

Razvan, when you say to raise flop in hand 1, is it just to protect from draws? I honestly would not know what to do if I raised and got called.

Ooops didn't see you c/c'd, I thought he'd led oop for a second. Defo b/f the turn your equity will be way better than c/c since he'll c/b a lot of weaker pairs and pair + draw hands that he'll call a bet with.

i for one would raise flop in H1 because of that weak bet, he has either a FD and you want him to pay for that, he is a 7x,Tx or a weak Q and you could make him fold on flop. if i get called i reevaluate turn. this is how i would play it, not necesarrly the best play.
