Re: river fold
For me two pair tends to win about 76% of the time I go to showdown. Based on that and no reads on the player I'll typically bet. In the example you show I might check with the intent of calling a single bet, to save being raised into. But given the size of the pot, it's heads-up, I want to see this showdown !!!
As for your second hand, I'm assuming that Party folded your hand because you did not respond fast enough. First the technology stuff, make sure the computer, network and Internet connection are up to snuff, then only play as many tables as you can keep up with. On a small monitor I'm at my limit with 3 tables, but typically play 1 table as I'm looking to move up levels by next weekend (if all goes well) and am concentrating on playing good poker and making better reads.
