Hey bison:

Hand 1:

I like the pf raise. I like the flop bet. When button raises you, I think that my play from there on is opponent dependent. Against passive players, I probably either fold there, or more likely call the raise and fold the turn without improving or picking up a draw. Against aggressive players I may call the flop raise and probably bet into him again on the turn. (I could be influenced by the rest of the hand, but I can easily see that raise as one for a free card)

I think I check call the river on this one with the 2 overcards.

Hand 2

Well played on all streets.
