That's right folks I'm moving up to 25nl. started 4 tabling to get used to the amounts etc...

One orbit in, villain is 9/9 over 11 hands

Hand 1:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($5.45)
BB ($5)
UTG ($25)
UTG+1 ($25.40)
MP1 ($28)
MP2 ($23.65)
Hero (MP3) ($31.65)
CO ($15.90)
Button ($33.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K, A
UTG bets $1, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, 4 folds

Flop: ($2.35) 9, A, 4 (2 players)
UTG bets $1.50, Hero ???

I'm thinking that he can be making this bet with the following range:

99+, AK, AQ, (I don't think 44 is likely since he raised it UTG)

Since I have the nut flush draw, I think it is unlikely he will continue to a raise unless he has a set or an ace, or possibly the Q of spades.

If I raise, he likely repumps it with his sets and calls with AK, AQ (if the Q is a spade) and dumps 10-10 and JJ and QQ unless the Q is a spade.

I still have ~62% equity vs his continuing range if I raise, That said should I be raising in this spot, and if so how much?

Hand #2

Hero???

First off, hows the sizing? looking back I think I should have bet turn harder to set up an easier river shove...

The thing is I don't think he has a 10 in his range too often, I mean this could be 10-10 (I don't think he calls a raise with j-10 but it's possible I guess)

I was actually having trouble assigning him a range, and wasn't sure what to do on the river. I entertained the notion of a small blocker bet but then found it a little ridiculous since b/f 'ing sucks. But c/c'ing sucks too. and so does b/c'ing I think... So which option sucks the least?
