Results to follow

[Barry]

Hand 1

PF - With only the CO in the pot, I would tend to fold PF here, unless I was sure that the BB would call.

Flop - Check/fold

River - When the turn gets checked around, it doesn't mean that CO has AJ, only that he's afraid of the 2nd K, maybe even is not scared of it at all. He'll call the river with almost any pair so I don't see the bet as getting a better hand to fold, let alone a value bet.

Hand 2

I'm mucking KJo in EP

Post flop is OK.

[lostinthought]

I fold both pre-flop.

I often will. These times I didn't.

[steveyz]

I also fold both of these pre-flop about 100% of the time.

But since you didn't, for hand 1, I'd check fold the flop. CO play here looks a lot like JJ/TT, or possibly AQ.

Hand 2, besides the pre-flop action, looks fine. What was your plan on the turn if CO had bet?
