Two tough spots

Half stacking 600NL (Something i like to do every so often when a good table is going). CO is FGators26, Button is a 18/13 semi-aggro. I have no history with him. I don't think i've squeezed on this table yet, maybe once.

I'm utterly lost on what i should do on the flop. Anyone think i should just cold call pre?

2 folds, CO raises to $24, Button calls $24, Hero raises to $84, 1 fold, CO folds, Button calls $60.

Hero checks, Button bets $114, Hero???

This hand is against a more aggro TAGG. I don't think i should fold this hand, especially with the J redraw (it's something). Maybe you guys disagree...

Also what do you think the best turn line is.

Thoughts on the flop are appreciated too.

Hand 1: fine and fold
Hand 2: almost pot turn.

hand 1: CC preflop. if you pull the squeeze, you pretty much have to bet the flop, since almost everyone is betting this flop when checked to. i'd also make it $100 preflop rather than $84.

hand 2: bet/cry/call.

I don't get your question on hand 1.
Either call preflop to sethunt. Squeeze, and when they don't fold follow on at the flop by betting. Or squeeze and give up when called preflop. By not betting the flop you gave up, you made your decision there. Well, you could c/rai the flop, but make that decision before you do anything at the flop.

Hand 2: Put villain all-in. You played the flop well, you can get it in on the turn, let's go!

hand 1: fold

hand 2: anything other that a push leaves a stupid amount on the river.

why are you trying to maneuver post-flop with a 50BB stack? Isn't the point to make it a 2-street game?

hand 1 bet flop or check fold or check raise
hand 2 raise more on flop and bet turn

lol... so you've labeled all the options. Which is better?

hand 1: stack size sucks for this move: if u do it make it 115 and be prepared to get it in

as played check/fold flop usually

hand 2: just bet and raise a lot more on the flop ur letting him beat you here- and as played bet turn/get it in
