No reads on this guy, I just got to the table. I'm kinda curious oh what you guys think of my river call ? Good bad ? It's kinda hard to put him on a 6 with his preflop reraise.

No reads here either. This hand I didn't really know how to proceed with so many people calling my reraise preflop. After the flop, I was going to just check/fold but i had to call cause of the odds to the nut flush... agreed? Then on the fiver, I missed the flush, but that ace was tempting. was this a good laydown by me ? what range of hands would you put this guy on ?

hand 1-
if i bet this flop i bet pot. and i bet it at lesat 90% of the time. why the minbet? the rest looks fine and is exactly how i would play it after the flop. with the turn check sometines you give a worse hand a free card to make the best hand, (i think thats what happened here) but it usually saves you moeny when behind, and makes margianl hands bet into you thinking they are ahead on teh river.

hand 2-
i know there is a strong argument to be made for checkig the flop here (dont want to get blown off a huge draw to the nuts) but i think im rasing this to $10. and im definitely reraisinng the minibet if i check the flop intially. as played i fold the river as well. i dont thnk my line is optimal either, someone will probably post a better one

hand 1: Looks good for the most part. You might want to think about betting the turn, there are a number of draws out there. Not sure what villan has with the RR PF. 99-JJ maybe.

hand 2: Lead the flop, I usually 3 bet all-in if raised. As played, call the turn, fold the river. IMO, I don't like c/r-ing. leading > c/c > c/r.
