Default Re: 2 simple hands.

Okay, I've got a few free minutes at work, so I'll take a stab.

Hand 1:

Call the floor, there are too many Jc in this deck. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously, I don't care much for your line here. I usually wouldn't raise this PF, I don't hate it, but I usually prefer to limp. Given that you did raise, I think you have to bet the flop, especially if there is a 2-flush on board. Even if it's the Jh on board, you still want to charge draws here, and somebody with AK or AQ may play back at you. If a K, Q or T comes on the turn after you check that flop you are very likely to find yourself beat or getting no action from hands that might have put some money in on the flop. Also, unless you are in the habit of checking flops that you don't hit very hard a lot after raising pre-flop, you may make people suspicious that you flopped a monster. Especially if you are normally aggressive on hands that you raise with pf.

Hand 2:

Unless this is a serious abberation on a normally very aggressive table, I hate limping with K's UTG. Now that you did it though, and are seeing the flop 5-handed, I wouldn't be too crazy about getting all of my stack in unless I flopped a set. In this case I realize that you are much deeper than the SB so you won't have to, but I still probably wouldn't call his push here barring a LAG read on him. I think checking behind on the turn and trying to pick off a bluff on the river is a better plan.

I still consider myself a relative NL newbie, so take these opinions for what they're worth. You're mileage may vary.
