Thanks for the response DeeJ,

I like both of them. You got lucky on hand 1 to hit the flush though, I wonder whether 3/4 of the time you are losing to an A8/K8/Q8 or higher pair? Or 56. Or 78 ...

But if I'm intending to call a bet on the river anyway isn't raising the turn a good play? I'm trying to fold overcards...when he calls my raise I intend to check the river behind. Now if he will raise me here with an overpair the play has backfired because I have to call. My estimation of being re-raised on the turn by an overpair is a pretty low percentage of times. Maybe others can comment on that percentage.

Given my estimation, the question may come down to how often does my opponent fold overcards vs. how often does he have a hand that will re-raise me (an 8 or a flush).

55 is my worst hand in PT.

But heads up in the blinds is a different story, no?

Hand 2 - would you call a bet on the river?

Yes.
