Hand #1: Well, if I'm the limper, and I have a ten, I'm not going to get squeezed out by a bet and a call. I wouldn't put you on a jack, raising on the flop, and I couldn't put the fish on a jack since he just called the turn. Maybe limper had an underpair as well. I like the fact that you had a plan, but I wonder if other thinks it was dangerous with 77. What if an A,K,Q,T,9 or 8 comes on the turn? (You didn't say what came on the turn.)


Hand #2: I would have played the hand just about the same. I might have 3-bet pre-flop, but the hand plays out the same afterwards, except that they both check to your flop bet and call. I hate calling raises pre-flop, my habit is to pump or dump. On the river, one would think one of them had to have a medium high heart to call you down with if you bet, even when they both checked in front of you.
