Hand 1... calling pretty much 100% of the time, and what's more I'd call quickly so it looks like a flush draw... reassess turn... obv 8 and 9 are both good turns, diamond is worth a bluff since we have flush draws in our range. He can also shut down with his overcards.

Hand 2... probably just fold, though I'd call him a c-word as I did so. There's a few bluffs in his range, but I doubt he's bluffing with zero equity, and his non-bluffs have us crushed, so I don't like this spot. I don't like floating this turn since there are so many flush draws in his range.

Hand 1 - flat and see a turn. Probably fold to barrels on blanks since I don't see him firing too lightly here.

Hand 2 - Call, you're ahead loads here. If there are flush draws in his range that's not a reason to fold, but to call since we have like 70% equity vs them. I don't think he c/cs flop too often with a flush draw though so don't agree there are all that many. More likely is some bullshit pair, spazz, A high etc...you're ahead enough to peel.

Hand 1:
Guy seems solid so it's not like he would just check AK OOP here; float and I like repping a flush.

Hand 2:
I'd probably never fold here, we have solid SD value + some suckout equity + blockers to the nuts/draw that completed and a likely LAG's line makes no sense.

flat hand 1, raise a bunch of turns prolly

not folding hand 2 either

Interesting that I'm the only one who finds a fold in hand 2. I guess this is a weakness in my game I need to look at. I just don't see us having barely any equity against his non-bluffs, while he as plenty of equity when he semi-bluffs. What's the plan on the river when we call the turn? Obviously we check if he does, but are we calling a 70% value bet?

If I call the flop it's with the intention of raising his b/f or c/f on every ugly turn card

Depends what the river is, calling on most red cards.

hand 1 i would raise or call depending on what villains tendencies on later streets is as that would give u hints to what is more +EV

hand 2 id just call down and make a note. i play a very loose style preflop though so i get involved in tons of pots with loose fish and i think they may tend to play back at me a bit more than others due to always being involved in pots with me.
