I think preflop & flop are standard in both of these hands, but I'm curious to hear how you guys handle the turn and river.
In the first hand, I feel like I should perhaps have bet the turn as there are so many hands besides a Q that could have called the flop bet & are still drawing. Then again, there are a ton of scare cards which can come on the river, and betting the turn will bloat the pot & encourage Villain to bluff. Also I think value-betting the river would have been better than checking behind.
In the second hand, bet the turn? Call the river having shown weakness on the turn?
