Two KK hands

No reads on any my opponents. Any way I could have played this differently?

Again, no reads. I think this was like the 2nd hand dealt to me on this table. Should I have reraised with very little in the pot when I may be drawing dead? All suggestions are appreciated.

Hand 1: Bet the turn. MP3 prolly has AQ or some similar hand. CO is very sad no more hearts came.

Hand 2: You can't fold the flop there. 99% of Party players would flat call the flop and raise you on the turn given
a) you have been aggressive
b) Villian has position.
Given this a reraise may be in order to get a feel for the hand, but I don't think folding the flop is correct.

Hand 1:

Bet the turn. You are still ahead if CO was on a draw.

Hand 2:

Tough one... If I was UTG w/ TT, I'm definately raising here. Heads up on the flop, you may be ahead here. I would 3-bet.

[zram21]

Hand 1: Bet the turn. If you get raised again then just call down.

Hand 2: This is a bit tougher and would be easier with a decent read on the opponent. The Party 2/4 players love to raise when they pair the other card on the paired flop. I don't know that a fold is terrible, but without a solid read I am probably calling this and then calling down.

Small clarification--in hand 2 you're only drawing dead to AA. You've got 2 outs against Ax (where x isn't a 2) and 22, and you can go perfect-perfect against A2 and AK.

Welcome to the board.

Thanks. I've been a long time avid reader. I'll try to start posting more hands. =]
