My river play has is pretty poor at the moment and this is where my main interest is. It's where the money and overlays are greatest. Feel free to comment on other streets.

Hand 1
Villain is tight preflop. Postflop unknown.

MP1 ($102.85)
MP2 ($148.55)
MP3 ($93)
CO ($115.25)
Button ($86.95)
SB ($132.40)
BB ($65.45)
Hero ($99)
UTG+1 ($156.10)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero calls $1, 4 folds, CO raises to $4.5, 3 folds, Hero calls $3.50.

Flop: ($10.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $10, CO calls $10.

Turn: ($30.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $29, CO calls $29.

AA likely but unknown sidecards. Do I bet the following rivers and how much?
a) Total blank.
b) Offsuit J. Gives me str8 but do I call raise and will worse hands call?

Hand 2
Different villain. ABC AFAIK. Has seen hand 1 from earlier in session but I've been TAGish generally.

MP1 ($152.05)
MP2 ($99.25)
MP3 ($98.50)
CO ($83.75)
Button ($132.80)
SB ($61.80)
Hero ($141.70)
UTG ($151.10)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $2, 3 folds, CO calls $2, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($6.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $6.2, UTG+1 folds, CO calls $6.20.

Turn: ($18.90) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $13, CO thinks then calls $13.

Pot $45. He has $62 left.
The board is very busy and I don't know which river scare cards hit him and I'm going to have to represent something on most rivers as I'm very likely behind.

Regardless of the turn being right or wrong, do you bet the following rivers and, importantly, how much?
a) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Flush on board.
b) 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Pairs board.
c) 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Blank.

Thanks,
James
