Default $33\'s - Postflop, two annoying turns

No phenomenal reads, villain in Hand #2 doubled up calling down A2o on Axx board and rivered a gutshot. My image so far is rockish.

Both hands were intentionally played passively by me preflop, so WRT to turn action, my holding isn't obvious to either villain. In hand #1, I wanted to call down an inferior ace, and wasn't sure what to make of his turn bet given my flat call on the flop. Hand #2, I lead out since I'll get action from Kx, intending to C/R AI on the turn, not expecting him to shove. Minraises at $33's (preflop) lately are often any two broadway, although I can't imagine a donk shoving KJ or QT on this turn.

I didn't read your comments, but 1 is a push and so is 2. Not hard ones either. You mucked up pf hard on 2 as well.

Looking to c-r the flop in the second is an option. But with his PF raise, I like the notion of having him push us off -- leading a little more 'probe' looking because so. T100 maybe.

btw if you are going to call preflop, not raising the flop is horrible in both of these

I don't necessarily mind the passive preflop play, but get feisty on the flop. You won, you got action and your hand is disguised.

Both are almost completely drawless, so I see them as WA/WB and don't want to blow villains off Ax and Kx. I suppose shutting out BB in Hand #2 is a concern, but I would have no trouble shutting down if he showed aggression.

Your point that the dynamic is changed given no PF raise is definitely a good one though.

WRT Hand #2 I see how not reraising PF was pretty hideous since I'm OOP and for stack size considerations. I just hate putting in that 3x reraise since it looks so much like AA or KK, but it apparently has to be done here.
