On #1 I raise the turn pretty often and take the free showdown unless I find myself needing it. Since you called the turn are you folding to a checkraise here on the river?

#2 the river didn't change anything, so if YHWG on the turn it's still good. Folding to a checkraise? Calling a checkraise?

Both rivers are fine.

I don't like this because a fair amount of the time (not a lot, but often enough) you will be 3bet. You spend the same by calling down the turn and river.

I like both of these bets though.

Good to know. Keep in mind, I'm a 1/2 6max player, and I'm not yet accustomed to the increased aggression of 5/10 or 10/20.
