Hand #1

This action doesn't make sense. You were in the cutoff and he was last to act on button. He could not check-raise you.

I agree with the majority of posters. Some flops are for you, and some aren't. You can't bluff the unbluffable, so you have to pick your spots better. To fire once on the flop was ok, but once that failed, I think that you should shut down.

Hand #2.

I'm not so sure I like re-raising from OOP in SB with JJ against a "very very good player" who initially raised. I'm sure your fondness for the two limpers' dead money has something to do with it.

Call me conservative, but I'd call and see the flop. Lead the flop big or check-raise if I feel villian is committed to leading the flop hit or miss on that innocuous flop.

As the action stands, fold the river for 900. He's value betting AA/KK here. The gig is up. He knows what you have...
