A couple of bluffs from last night

[xcrack999]

I feel like I'm bluffing a lot more now than before, and I sometimes wonder if I'm overdoing it. Thanks for any comments. I haven't shown down a lot of bluffs this section, and I had pretty tight numbers. (something like 20/10/3)

<u>HAND #1</u>
My read was that villain is pretty tight, but aggressive. Saw him raise a continuation bet with second pair before.

Hand #1 is just a value bet against a guy who's drawing. Where's the bluff? I'd probably bet a touch more than that though. That's sort of weak if you actually had a Q.

Hand #2 is OK. $45-50 would probably have been a better bet amount.
