2 JJ hands - PP15/30

[mach3]

Thoughts?

Hand 1 - thought he would 3 bet me with AK on the turn, so I bet the river in case he had picked up a flush. Should have checked?

[/ QUOTE ]in your effing dreams. raise the flop. \
first hand looks good. i would threebet the flop because i think that will get more action than a scary turn raise... i also think the river is close... in the heat of the moment id probaly threebet, but im too aggressive and i think the call is best.

[philnewall]

Raise the flop in hand 1, the board is massive, and you can get action from AK on every street.

Raise the flop in hand 2, looks like he's got a vunerable hand, and the pots too big + too many overcards to let him get to showdown cheaply.

I don't have much mid-high limit experience, and this may be a dumb question but, in the first hand why not cap the flop? And also in the second one. I don't think you played either hand poorly, i might check/call the river in the first one but that's about it.

Regarding hand 1 - I wanted him to lead into me on the turn so I could raise. I think he would have check called the turn had I capped the flop. More aggressive players are 3 betting in that situation.
