    Default Two tough spots.

    Villain here is 26/11, but no reads other than that.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($501.24)
    UTG ($220)
    MP ($152.54)
    CO ($105.80)
    Hero ($202)
    SB ($196.20)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, A. SB posts a blind of $1.
    UTG calls $2, MP calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $11, 2 folds, UTG calls $9, MP folds.

    Flop: ($27) 2, T, Q (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $18, UTG calls $18.

    Turn: ($63) J (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $40, UTG raises $191 (All-In), Hero ???

    Hand 2: Note that me and villain are very deep. He is 26/12 or so and I definitely regard him as a tag.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($531.54)
    BB ($196)
    UTG ($226.09)
    MP ($247)
    Hero ($526.40)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, Q. SB posts a blind of $1.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $7, SB (poster) raises to $26, 1 fold, Hero calls $20.

    Flop: ($56) J, 2, 2 (2 players)
    SB bets $39, Hero calls $39.

    Turn: ($134) 2 (2 players)
    SB bets $100, Hero ???

    1) I check the turn and call a river bet or v-bet river if checked to. If all the money goes in on the turn/river, I don't think you are good very often.

    2) Tough spot, but I think I'd fold the turn. I don't think a tag is making a move here enough to call.

    Hand 1: Tough fold, a 26/11 will raise TT+, maybe even 22. QJ/QT/etc. doesn't bet this way generally.

    Hand 2: Fold. It's a great place to 2nd barrel in a raised pot, but not in a reraised pot.

    hand 1: I call

    hand 2: I typically fold this.. and then they show me 56s or something..
