Two semi-bluffs

[ShawnHoo]

Finally made it out to Commerce last night for some more 40/80 craziness. I had two chances to semi-bluff with draws; in the first, I waited until the turn, while the second I played faster. Curious to hear thoughts on both and if folks feel that one line is superior to the other.

Hand #1: Folded to me in the CO. I raise with QJo. The button, a decent player who's capable of making moves, 3-bets. Blinds fold.

Flop: KsTs6c

I check, button bets, I call.

Turn: 5c

I check, button bets, I raise. Button thinks and calls.

River: Qd

I bet.

Hand #2: Folded to the button, a poorly-playing regular, who raises. A terrible and straight-forward SB calls, I call in the BB with 8h7d.

Flop: Kh6h5h

Checked to button, who bets. SB folds, I raise, button calls.

Turn: Ac

I bet, button slides in a call.

River: 2h

I bet.
