Re: betting or not betting?
 

Hand1: Definately bet the turn here. You have fold equity and thats a pretty crappy board. I think you take it down on the turn a huge % of the time here + you may have the best hand and the possiblility to check behind on the river UI if CO folds.

Hand2: Tough w/out reads. Id be tempted to just fold the turn. No point leading the river, he wont be folding anything you are beating. Raising the turn may be a play, you may get him to fold an 8 or maybe 66/77. I suck in these spots.

Hand 1: I like the bet on the turn, because its likely all your pair outs are good. We'll probably get position too, enabling us to check through A high.

Hand 2: Fold, the pot is tiny tiny tiny.

Re: betting or not betting?
 

I think I bet the turn in hand 1. Board is decently coordinated, meaning a lot of draws could be out there.

No point in betting the river in hand 2. Might as well hope you are ahead and let him bluff.

Re: betting or not betting?
 

I do think a bet is good in hand one.

Hand 2, I tend to bet the turn here. Could be wrong though. The thing is, if you think your 5's are good enough to call with, you should be betting here. If you don't bet, I think you should c/f. What do others think about this?
