Re: A coule hands from last night. Party 2/4.
Hand 1: You can raise this flop and take a free card on the turn - with position this play works ~80% of the time. The few times I don't bet or raise the flop after raising preflop is when I have a really good read that I'm beat or the board is so unfavorable that I fold or just barely have odds to look at the turn and call. On the turn I'd also call although I don't think you have 8 full outs here - since reading SSH I don't count overcards as full outs, it just doesn't make sense to. But I most likely wouldn't be in this situation of facing a turn bet because I would have raised the flop.
Hand 2: I like your line here. I think his hands can be narrowed down to AsAx, QQ, JsJx, or AsKx. Interestingly, there are 12 total combinations of these hands and you lose to exactly half of them - therefore just calling is perfect, especially considering the button is still in who you almost definately have beat.
