2 Hands from the 2/4 NL game at Foxwoods

[Mountainhawk]

Hand #1: Hero has ~$300. Villian has been fairly passive, and barely has me covered.

I get 22 in MP. 2 limp to me, I limp, 2 more limp, Villian in BB makes it $25 to go, and only I call.

Flop is T82, 2 spades. Villian bets $10, I raise to $75, villian pushes all in for about $200 more.

I folded, and she shows 88. It worked out here, but is this a bad laydown?


Hand #2: Hero has ~$1100. Villian has $1700 or so.

Fold to me in MP with KTc, and I make it $15 to go which was the standard open raise. Villian calls, button calls, blinds fold.

Flop is KK5r. I bet $50, Villian calls, button folds.
Turn x (still rainbow). I bet $100, villian calls.
River A. I bet $100, villian calls, shows KQ and wins.

Anyone take a different line on this one?

Thanks.

First hand is probably the easiest case of folding a set I've ever seen. Just ask yourself why would villain bet $10 on the flop? I see two potential reasons.

Second hand is played fine.

1st hand...tough for me to lay down a set, even if it's third one on board. Looks like you made a good read, with the raise PF to 25 I'm thinking big pair or AKsuited, I go broke on this hand, tough for me to lay down a set.

2nd hand looks fine, smooth call on flop and turn would concern me,maybe check call the river?

Hand #2: Apparently villain was afraid you might have AK (you open raised and your betting on flop/turn showed you had a King). On the river he's thinking you could have AA too that's why he only called your river bet. But when you bet $100 into a $350 pot it screams you don't have AA/AK. I don't understand why he didn't raise on the river.

in hand 2 I'm not sure I pot the turn as you don't have that many hands to protect against and I think you only get called by a hand that beats you unless if you've been fairly loose postflop before and capable of making big bluffs.
