Enhh...

First one, I don't like the check-raise. I bet out here hoping to get re-raised, which I would flat call. You're just showing so much strength, with a strong hand. =/

On the turn, I bet out about 350. You can make him call incorrectly without losing all the value from your strong hand.

The second one I fold preflop. Assuming I get to the flop, I definitely play the flop slower, and once again, just bet like 2/3 pot on the turn.


I just think that it's RIGHT to protect your hand.. But all you really need to do is make sure you aren't giving them the right odds to draw for a flush -- you don't need to scare them out of the hand when you're a big favorite.
