    In hand 1 I'd tend to bet the turn as well because the turn is a brick for most of his holdings other than two pair and I won't get any value from a straight or flush draw on the river
    As played I fold the river

    hand 2 is read-dependent because some shortstacks won't do this unless they have AA/KK and some will do this with K8o and you have the problem of the other guy behind you

    Hand 1: Turn is a blank so fire on it, if he raises you then you can decided what to do then, letting him catch up there is bad.

    Hand 2: Read dependent if villain is loose I am shoving here, the other guy left to act is half stacked so you are getting a buck less than 1-2 on the entire pot if he does call your shove. I am moderately happy to get my money in here if both players are not nits.

    Hand one I would bet the turn as well to make him earn the river card, but I would call that river bet.

    Hand two I would likely fold. Likely at least one of them has AK and one could have KK or AA. I make notes on what they pushed with and move to a better spot. If you had a read it would be easier.

    Give reads please on future hands.. so take these opinions with a grain of salt.

    Hand 1- Bet turn. As played snap call river.

    Hand 2- Snap fold.

    look up "RealtimeHUD" d/l it, and use it, then start posting stats of your villains with your Hand Historys.
    Also please use a converter to post HH's.
