Ive recently been working on winning more small-mid size pots where Im not initial PFR, part of this developing better reads and punishing weakness on scary boards. I like both hands after having a pretty strong idea (150+) hands with each villian what theyre capable of - you may say theyre donkish. Lets find out.

Hand 1 Villian is ~60/20 but not very aggro after flop w/o hand

hand one I don't really like limping UTG, but I think its played fine postflop. villain looks very weak, just have to be paying good attention to do this since you don't want that half pot flop and turn check to mean a weak ace he isn't dropping.

Nice plays. This is a dimension which I need to add to my game. My problem is there are just so many calling stations at 50NL and 100NL to find a good spot to bluff some scare cards...
