the turn card gave me courage...

[gomberg]

Hand 1: 5-10 full game

I have 1k in sb w/ TT. button makes steal raise to $40, I reraise to $170, BB calls!!!, button folds.

Flop is Jxx, I was about to check fold, but couldn't help myself betting out ~ 1/2 pot for $200. BB calls.

next card is a blank. I check, he bets $400, I fold.

a couple hands later...
----------------------------------------------------------
Hand 2:

5-10 full game and I have 77h in CO. Normal raiser raises to $40 in MP. I call ($600 - all have me covered). SB calls.

flop is 2x4h5h.

MP makes a small continuation bet of $50. I decide to see if he has high cards or a pair and raise him to $150, expecting to take the pot down right there.

SB folds quickly, MP thinks and calls. crap, I'm done w/ the hand probably.

Turn: 6h

He checks, I push...

comments on flop / turn play? what about hand 1 - is this just a check fold w/ no read on BB? What about my resteal w/ TT? I usually don't make this play, but that stupid 99 hand from ciaffone rueben book was going through my head at the time...
