Does this look okay? I raised to see a cheap river... is this the right time/place for this play?

Hand 1:
Cap that flop! Ever second caller is +EV
Turn: standard
River: No dont fold! The call is fine I think though.

Hand2:

I dont know about raising to see a cheap river? I think you are raising here 1 - to clean up your overcard outs and 2 to get a free look at the turn. Why do you want to see the river cheaply with high card J? Other than your reason for raising, well played.

What do you mean get a free look at the turn?

[Glurfle]

Hand 1: I've been known to raise 3 limpers and a poster preflop in that position before. I'd cap the flop pretty much every time with 4 opponents in. Even if you fold both BB and UTG+1, you're still happy. Plus, you might want a free card on the turn. River you pretty much have to call.

Hand 2 looks okay.

Sorry you get a free look at the river. By raising the flop you will get checked to on the turn and can check behind for a 'free card'
