100nl 2 hands, both river checks

Hand 1

Opp is like 34/18. Steals 57%. I think he will call alot of 3bets if I do 3bet so I opt to call which isnt bad at all imo. Everything is standard up until river. Jyms was railing me here and I discuss my thoughts fully with him considering hand ranges etc thinking a c/c is the best option.

hand 2

Opp is 23/19. 10% 3bet, standard tag/lag (whatever we call that) stats. Nothing special from him at all yet. Dont think he even 3bet me yet. Thoughts on river? Again I fully thought out his range imo (which I wanna check with you guys) and decided the best option.

hand 1 lol head explosion
hand 2 only thing I can think of is he could be trying to get you off whiffed hearts
whatever he's betting for value obv has you crushed

wtf is head explosion???

Whats your hand 2 thoughts?

Hmm, both look interesting. TJ and QJ are both squarely in villains range in hand 1. QK is also, but I think he checks that behind here. 78 already go there, but I think he checks that behind a lot also. Meh, I really have trouble putting anything other than a J in his value betting range, so the question is how many hands does he get to river with that dont have a J but which he feels he needs to bluff with. Random hearts is about it? I'm obviously missing something so interested to hear your thoughts on ranges.

Hand 2 is closer. I can definately see AK in his range that gave up on the flop but picked up gutshot + his overs on turn. On the other hand he may decide he needs to turn 99-TT into a bluff. I guess he could have a 9T or something. Again I'm having trouble putting much into his turn calling range that needs to bluff river.

I think I c/f both.

Also I think calling in hand 1 is a leak.

Hand 1:KQ,TJ,TT, I c/f river Q9 cant be good.

Hand 2:AK,JJ,T9...stretch..50/50call,fold..dont like either one..

Really? What J hand is betting 1/2pot on the flop and calling a C/R?

1) Thats a huge c/r I really doubt he has hearts all that often. You should have sized the turn so you can jam the river for 2/3 pot or something. If I'm checking its not to c/c. Your mistake is on the turn sizing cause as played your now in a really awkward spot.

2) I'd b/f for sure I think

it's when villain bets SO SMALL that you're like I'm getting 5 to 1 here holy shit
but you know you're never good
but you know you only have to be good like 20% of the time
but you know he's never going to bluff this small
so you call, see his marginal hand that just vbet thin and your head explodes
