Re: Value bet straights and flushes when the board pairs
Hand 1
You can probably raise for value on the river with this one. No one showed much strength on the turn. Your flop three bet might have scared a low two pair like J8 or JT into not betting, but the chance of someone having specifically those hands and them not betting them stronger are not so great.
However, for that reason they might have such a hand I don't like your flop 3bet. Another reason I don't like is because you were on an 11:1 draw to a straight and a 15:1 draw to Top Pair which is not so strong on this board. I don't see it to your advantage to knock out players at that point who could potentially pay you off if you connect. I don't think your 3bet would knock out an Ace with middle or bottom pair anyway, so if your ace came in you would either be losing more money to two pair, or you would rather have those players still in to pay you off for your Top Pair 2nd Kicker.
