Both of these are from 2/4 tables at different AC casinos:

1) I have 66 in middle/late position and call. (It was a while ago, so I don't remember how many callers I had before and after me, but I didn't open-limp.) A blind raises, and all limpers including me call.

Flop comes down A62 rainbow. Raiser bets, I raise, he re-raises, and I cap, and we see the turn heads up. It's a brick and he bets into me. What do I do?

2) I have T6/images/graemlins/spade.gif as the small blind and get plenty of preflop callers.

Flop comes down T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif2/images/graemlins/spade.gif and I go for the checkraise, figuring that someone will bet it (it's low limit and anyone with a T will bet, and perhaps a 6) and I want to punish those on flush draws. Checks to mid/late position player (hard to say, as we're 11 handed) who bets. Folds to me, I check-raise, making it heads up, and he re-raises. What do I do?

Hand 1: i wouldn't be done raising yet, he could easily have AK/AQ and be overplaying...i would raise the turn and call down if reraised...

Hand 2: i would cap and lead the turn, with no read im not folding and he could possibly be on a draw...

This is solid advice and FWIW I'd do the same.

I agree with both of the above pieces of advice.

Hand 1: I put in one more raise on the turn. If he 3bets there I'd just call down.

Hand 2: I'd cap this flop...if you're not capping with top 2 what are you capping with?
