Hand 2 I fold the turn.

Anyone just fold the flop against a non-aggro? I mean how much equity do I really have here vs. a regular dude's 3-betting range?

Tpir, against a "non-aggro" folding the flop in hand 2 would be the standard play since the probability you are drawing to 3 outs is now too high when compared to the odds you are getting to draw to a pair. Against a more aggressive opponent the probability that you have 6 outs go up, and the probability that you have the best hand goes up thus making a flop peal correct IMO. And against a super aggressive opponent, you should be taking this hand to the river every time and calling whether you improve or not.

I want to talk about Hand 1 now. When you flop top pair in this situation, whether you should call down or play back by checkraising the flop or bet/3betting depends on what kind of range you put the villain on. Naturally the tighter your opponents 3 betting range, the more likely calling down will be the correct strategy. For instance if you put your opponent on a tight range like: TT-AA,AK, and you flop top pair then you should just call down, since if you play back at your opponent youre too likely to end up getting raised back by a better hand that has you drawing thin, or you may induce your opponent to fold a 2 outer, which is also bad for you. In this example checking and calling all the way(and maybe betting the river if your opponent never bluffraises) is the line that will make you the most money or save you the most money in the long run.

However in your hand you raised from the CO, and the Button reraised you, in this situation with no read, you should assume that the button's 3 betting range is now not nearly as tight since he may be putting you on a steal.

In this situation with no reads I would tentatively put the button on this hand range: 77-AA,AK,AQ,AJ,ATs,KQ,KJs. Against this range the probability of you running into a stronger hand is now much lower, and most importantly the probability that the button now has a second best hand that pays you off all the way is much higher.

If you checkraise the flop the villain is likely to pay you off all the way with a hand like KJs,AJ,KQ. Also if the villain has a hand like ATs or AK on this QJx flop, he'll likely go to the river and then fold unimproved.

Now if you play back by checkraising the flop you still face the problem of running into a better hand or inducing your opponent to fold a 2 outer, but you will make enough money from the second best hands/draws that call you down to more than make up for it. So in your hand example on the QJx flop, I would checkraise the flop. But if you had raised UTG and a solid player 3 bet you from any position, I would just call down.

So the tighter your opponents 3 betting range the more apt you should be to just check and call all the way down when you flop something like top pair with a hand like AQ, but the wider your opponent's 3 betting range the more likely you should take an aggressive action to get more money in the pot becuz the odds of him having a second best hand that will pay off all the way goes up.
