[Blindcurve]

Hand 1: Fold. I don't see any reason to chase an ace here, and the lead bettor probably can't be folded, with his stack size.

Hand 2: I'm reraising preflop in an attempt to get heads-up with the raiser. I can see how you might want to check the flop for an overcard. However, after this flop, I'm leading, and hoping the raiser has enough to get beaten for a lot of chips. I think you want to lead the turn for about 1500.
