I dont know if you can continue in hand one. I play it the same.
Hand two screams trips, or even stranger, maybe he thought that he would quazi-value bet preflop with 10Js, oooh thats yummy.
What limit is this?

well I wasnt uer woried about the set cuz he didnt cap PF. so its either AQ or KQ or JT I thought. JT is more likely due to hand combinations, but less likely to have raised PF, plus im OOP.

these are at 5/10

It seems like in a lot of situations similar to hand one, people I never saw in the old HUSH are saying not to 3bet or cap hands like JJ and AQ preflop, while HUSH regulars take it for granted. JJ is an easy-peasy cap. You've likely got the best hand, there's at least on idiot along for the ride throwing his money in, and there will be a lot of flops where you are ahead but afraid that you aren't and so don't raise on later streets to make up for the lost equity preflop.

[i]EDIT: As for postflop, I hate it when I make a plan that is reasonable and probably good, and then don't follow it for whatever reason. I think giving up on the turn was ok, but you should stick with it. I don't think SB is bluffing into 2 opponents on the river. Hand two I 3bet the turn, call a cap, and c/c the river.

Hand 1. We have no read on sb, but because he 3-bet pf, it's reasonable to assume he has at least 88+, AK, AQ or perhaps KQs.

I believe capping pf is perfectly reasonable; in fact, I think it's the default action without a read.

The post-flop problem is that, once you check the turn, you can't be sure that sb isn't betting the river with something like 10s or 9s, not out of a bluff, but because he believes his hand is actually best. Since he is an unknown, I have enough doubt about his hand to call the river bet. Don't think I like the river raise, because he'd probably fold with a worse hand and is not going to fold a better hand.
