Re: What I consider horrible play on my part, show me the way
Hand 1: Seems fine until the river - raise your hand. Unless you're positive this will kill your overcalls.
Let's do some math on raising the turn for value:
You have 3 trapped between you and SB. So 5 players...
13 cards will give you the probable winner (10 spades and 3 non-spade 9's) So you'll win this pot about 28% of the time. That's more than your fair share. So raising the turn seems like a good idea in hindsight. The only thing to worry about would be SB 3-betting.
Hand 2: Bet the turn, fold to a raise. If he just calls, taking another shot on the river is player dependent. If he's weak/tight he might lay it down to another one.
