hand 1:

i have ~15K, phil has ~100K.

i'm in the SB w/ 66, a really bad player limps on the button w/~9K, i raise to isolate making it 450 straight.

to my dismay phil calls, and the limper folds.

flop comes 6-5-5 rainbow.

i lead for $600 phil calls.

turn comes a Queen putting two hearts on the board.

6-5-5-Q two hearts.

i check call $1200.

river comes an offsuit duece i lead for $2K.

i was really at a loss for how to maximize my profit on this hand, i had a hard time putting phil on a hand here, as he often times likes to call in position and take pots away, so he could have been on a total bluff or had a hand like 77-JJ.

i contemplated checkraising the turn but i felt it would scream strength, and i hoped my river lead would look like a bust.

he ended up folding after not too much consideration, so i'm still not sure what the best line would have been.

any thoughts appreciated.


hand 2:

i'm in BB w/AKspades and ~20K phil still has me way covered.

phil limps, all fold to me and i raise to $500 he calls.

flop comes Q-10-3 rainbow.

i check phil bets 1K i call.

turn comes a brick (i think a seven) putting two hearts on the board.

i check phil bets 2K i make it 5.5K.

any thoughts?
