Default Common flop situations

I've been folding situations like this on the flop fairly often but I can't seem to recollect why, just been doing it by instinct lately. I also tend to avoid spots like these when I'm 6-8tabling, is that a leak?

Typical Partypoker 30-60, 10 Handed

Situation #1

Preflop: Hero is SB with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, all fold, button calls, Hero complete, BB checks.

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5sb)
Hero check, BB check, UTG+1 check, UTG+2 bets, button folds, Hero folds...

Situation #2

Preflop: Hero is SB with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG+1 calls, all fold, CO calls, Hero completes, BB check.

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4sb)
Hero check, BB check, UTG+1 check, CO bets, Hero folds...

someone care to refresh my memory please.

RE-EDIT: would it be any different if you were BB?

i call in both of these spots. i dont think reverse implieds are big enough to make up for direct implieds and pot equity in these cases.

those both seem like terrible folds to me.

but then, both those preflop calls seem pretty terrible.

but then, i don't play 30-60. maybe i'm missing something.

i don't see how the same person reconciles completing J6o in a 1/2 sb mid-limit game and folding open ends on the flop

In a 2/3 blind structure i think its close between calling and folding. I'm not sure but I think party 30-60 might be a $15 sb??? If it is its easily a fold. On the flop your getting 5-1 and 6-1 with each time a flush draw on the flop with 3 and 2 people to act behind you. So you have 6 clean outs, neither to the nuts and most of the time if there are 3 or more people calling the flop your calling to chop. I fold both on the flop, I dont think its very close.

i think betting this flop sucks bad. "first to get raised" position, no hand, dubious draw, and the entire flop is in the strike zone of playable cards.

I had a good feeling these hands might be mistakes, since I have good equity in the pot with open-ender.

This particular situation where I flop open-ended from SB on a broadway flush board with a decent sized field this fold was very questionable, maybe I was running particularly bad the other night and I noticed folding these and wondered why I am doing so.

Then again I've been playing like a robot the past 6 weeks, clocking over 100k hands and I'm making some mistakes here and there like this one.

Thanks guys for the clarification... Just needed some fellow 2+2ers to yell at me! Leak has been plugged..

I don't think the preflop call is a mistake as long as I'm getting away from weak holdings on the flops.

mmmmm bet sounds bad on this flop..
