Default Re: Two tough hands

If you want to continue with hand one I think raising the turn for a free showdown is a better play. I think you can safely fold to a three-bet here and you can protect your hand from SB's possible overcards if it's good.

Your effective odds are gonna be (5.5+2):2, so you will have to win the showdown 27% of the time for this to be breakeven. It's close between this and folding, but I definitely think raising the turn/checking behind the river is superior to calling down because of the presence of SB.

Hand 2 is fine.
