A couple of hands ...

[Guruman]

-blind response-

hand 1 pf-
I don't think I like the cap here. Villain's range vs an ep raiser and a coldcaller has to have you pretty sufficiently covered. UTG + 1 isn't going anywhere, so just take a flop and see where you stand.

-flop-
I go for the checkraise on the flop, since UTG + 2 was the aggressor pf and you can face UTG + 1 with two cold here. You want him to fold out a raggedy A or K that can beat you later here.

leading the turn and check/calling the river seem ok to me.


-hand 2-

I fold pf becuase I'm not good at playing this hand against a good ep raiser oop. Putting in any kind of raise here would be an absolute disaster.

I like the flop since you have a strong draw with up to 14 outs. (9 clubs, 2 fives, and 3 tens), plus pairing the board can be good if villain has something crazy like A2s. Also, you're waaaay ahead if he doesn't have a J or an overpair.

turn and river look ok to me.
