I agree with Jeff in hand 1. I don't think the way you played it is horrible but checking the river is a 2nd best play IMO.

I dissagree with Jeff in hand 2. You played the hand perfectly because a lot of times the guy will have KJ with no club and check/fold the river if a club comes. You lose the 3rd bet on the turn when he folds the river. If he semibluffs with a large club and poor pair he will check or fold the river if me misses again costing you a third bet on the turn. If he hits his club only sometimes can you get a check raise on the river. The only time you lose is if he 4 bets the turn with a worse hand (set, 2 pair) and then gets a bet or two out of you on the river when he fills up or if he has a flush, 4 bets it and you dont improve on the river. Also a lot of times he will call you on the river with a better hand (small flush) costing him as per the T.O.P. It seems you win the most this way. Anyone else agree with this. GOod job on hand 2.
