Two hands: 99 and QQ

[ThePenguin]

Hand 1: Everyone is loose except for SB.

I thought the PF raiser was loose, the others are between 20 and 30 VPIP, moderately aggressive.

Should I have more respect for the flop three-bet? When he slows down I think I'm good




Hand 2: No reason to think I'm behind right? Good bet on river?

Your stop-n-go might have just made him worried you have a ten and his AA-JJ is no good.

Of course, he could have overcards and a flush draw instead, but I think folding to the flop 3-bet would be all right.

I know the board is draw-heavy, but still. What in the world are so many people calling with? I guess you probably have a value bet on the river, but I'd be tempted to check, I have to admit. I do think it's good that you bet, though.
