Check/calling turn

[barongreenback]

Usually when I check call turn its for the wrong reasons ie I don't want to get raised and have to make a difficult decision. It is correct somtimes even though its basically a defensive play. Is it here?

Hands are from different tables. Little info on villains but sane AFAIK.

I think you should bet both these turns...K's and flush draws are out there to call you down (in both hands!)

Ok. Thanks.

In hand 2 he likely has a K but I'm assuming he'll bet it for me on the turn.

Hand 1. Don't like my play here but I'm not sure yet. What's your estimate of % I'm ahead when turn is dealt? If you bet turn do you fold to a raise?
