2 Folds against the same guy

[barongreenback]

Hand 1
I've been trying out this line a bit and I'm fine with it. With 2 opponents a flop bet may be better but it depends on how wide their hand ranges are. Depending on the player MP could have a wide range here and a bet would be better but since you said he was a TAG this probably isn't the case. You've got to think you can get enough from them on later streets to make up for the multiple 2 or 3 outers, though.

I usually can't fold these rivers because of the odds but I think it's a good fold. You've shown a lot of strength on the turn.

Hand 2
I find small 2 pair oop a difficult hand so I'm not sure what I'd do but I don't like your flop line. You just don't want to keep people in the pot. With this board I think that overrides pot control.
