For both hands, two things stuck out: (1) I can fold, and still be in good shape to get ITM, (2) both ppl's play set off some warning bells. In both, I definitely wanted to exercise pot control. So, in both, how much consideration do you give to foldinig at some point, and how much consideration do you give to playing the hand differently? I'll post results later, I guess.
