Standard fold right? I was thinking there's a good chance one or both of them had me crushed and even if I was ahead, I was vulnerable to a lot of draws and didn't have any redraws myself. I think this is standard.

Final Pot: $152.60

Any reason to fear the straight here? I put him on an overplayed AA and played accordingly. Before I realize I might be behind, I'm already getting the odds to draw to my FH.

EDIT: Took out turn and river for hand two as they didn't matter for the discussion.

I think the fold in hand 1 is ok...you don't want to face a pot sized bet on the turn, your hand can't take any heat at all...fold it before this blind steal gets more expensive.

Hand 2 - seems ok, I wouldn't put him raising with 9 10 either. If you sucked out, congrats.

hero should definitely threebet regardless of whethter 9t is in villains range, cause his range includes lots of other hands. Once that is done it doesn't matter, he has odds to call against a straight.
