hand 1: do you have any reason for betting 1/2 PSB on turn? as played betting the river seems really close but i think it's a bet.

i don't think A6 or A9 would have slow played THIS much and he limp/calls with AJ only like 50% of the time. also, without reads, it's tough to figure out how many times he has spades here, especially because the As on the board is blocking a lot of his range. in fact there might be just as many straights here as flushes. i don't know it's close.

hand 2: i call the 3bet pre because it's 30 cents, effective stacks are 125bb deep, his range is oober strong (although it might be a bit polarized) and he's a LAggtard who's giving us his stack very often here. i know we're OOP but if villain is half as bad post as he is pre, then he shouldn't be hard to tarp.

anyone have thoughts on checking pre? or am i just a terrible nit?
