I think I'm becoming weak tight in these river situations. Are these both easy bets and raises or am I seeing MOTB? I think that's due to the fact that I'm affraid so much of the river raise.

Both are easy river raises.

What are you afraid of in Hand 1? The flush? KQ? Both unlikely. And I would expect to see a lower pair in Hand 2 far, far more often than a two pair or straight.

Edit: Right, you act first in Hand 1. Missed that. Yes, bet. This hand will often get checked through because a player becomes timid, is afraid of the three spades, gives up on a bluff, etc.

Hand one you should really lead because this river will get checked through a ton. I c/r given your check.

Hand two is a pretty easy raise.

BB checks, Hero ?

Is there a case for a turn bet given his description of villain? We're unlikely to be c/r'ed by a single pair. There's tons of straight draws we are still ahead of.
