Look at these two hands for me.

[Pocket77s]

2/4 Hold'em Ocean's 11 cardroom

Hand 1: Flop's fine, but I don't like going for the checkraise on the turn. You don't know where the bet will come from, or if the bet will come. Just bet out. On the river, I think a check-fold is okay. You've overrepresented your hand a little, and they're probably not going to bet a worse hand.

Hand 2: The pot is ginormous, and your hand is vulnerable. You may already be behind, but I think you have to raise the flop. Do what you can to win this pot. You're not doing your hand any favors by playing it so passively.

Because it seems like you've check raised all hand, I dont think a check is that bad at all in hand 1.

Lower flushes/two pairs might be scared and check through, but they'll call one bet anyway.
