    Flop is good. Turn is ok too I guess - you don't want to scare Jx out of the hand. Why do you check the river?
    As played I don't like it but I'm calling, because you're showing weakness by checking and if I'm the villain and I called you down with 78 or something like that, I'm trying to take the pot away from you in this spot. He might also have a J or Q not knowing when not to value bet.

    Hand2
    Reraise on the flop. I would make it 50c
    Raise turn.
    As played: fold on the river. This line is usually a strong hand.

    Your bet sizing is making these decisions tougher than they have to be.

    On hand one your hand is under repped your acting like you have a J and then checking the river screams "bluff me"

    On hand two, instead of calling two weak bets on two streets for a total of $.54 try raising and taking this down now.

    By the way, try giving a read or two to your HH's, it makes things a little easier. What did your notes say? What do they say now?

    hand 1. if you think u win 25% of the time or more easy call. hes probably bluffing at least 10%. have to call.

    hand2. when these two say raise the flop to 50, remember you are in position which gives you a lot more info before you have to put more money in or it could get you to the river if you wish for no more. if he reraises your raise its an easy fold and you lose the same you lost playing it this way meanwhile you rep an awful lot of strength. this is a good example of how agression on early streets can save you money where its cheaper to be aggressive. By calling your hand looks like AK that can't bring itself to fold until its seen the river.

    At this level notes on player two types make a huge difference to how you run. some people its an easy fold others its almost an easy call.
