2 River Decisions

[Kirg]

My apologies if these are extremely standard.

Hand 1: Villain is 65/0/0.41 over 80+ hands

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

Should I be betting this river? I'm thinking I'm only going to get called by better hands, no?

Hand 2: Villain is 33/5/2.82 over 200+ hands

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls.

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

Is this standard or should I be betting out myself instead of trying to induce a bet? Should I be raising the river?

[Sporky]

i'm betting both hands.

on hand 1 a 65/0/0.41 might call you with anything. people are very very loose with river calls at the 1/2.
i wouldn't raise the river on 2.

[jba]

bet the river on hand 1, fold to a raise

hand 2, I would bet/call that river. I think we are getting called by ace high here a fair amount and that hand will never bet.

Hand one is perfect. A river bet would be very silly.

Hand 2 I'd bet the river. I might've just called the flop and c/r'ed the turn before then though.
