Default Re: Spewing?

I think it's impossible to know what exactly to do without reads, but here goes anyhow:

Hand one:
I'm not even sure if I bet this flop. Assume you have 99 here instead, do you bet? After the check-raise trapping the whole field, you're behind quite often. I either raise or fold this river depending on my reads to prevent overcalls.

Hand two:
You have a pocket pair under top pair with backdoor straight and flush draws. The pot is huge and you have enough pot-odds to call IMO. A raise can be good here if you think it can buy you a free card on the turn. Being 3-bet here sucks though, so I think I'd probably call the flop unless the preflop raiser is very loose/passive.

On the turn, I'll probably call a decent card (heart or any card making us a straight draw), and of course, raise any jack.
