I fold that 95% of the time. Is this too weak?

check your pot odds. You might actually be good enough considering the preflop action to call this sized bet IMO.

If he half potted the river id prob fold a lot more if not always.

Hand 2
Against a tricky player I would fold. But against a weak player I would call.

I'm the other way. From a bad player it looks like XcXx... Kc or Qc.. from his perspective:

Ooh, club draw for me, I hope he gives me a free card. Damn... well... if I hit I'll stack him.

Great! I make my flush! He's dead now. I'll check to see if he'll keep betting into me, that aggro donk.

Crap! He slowed down... well an AI will get folded if he has any brains, but if I bet.. 1/3 the pot, I bet I'll get a call. Here we go.

Tricky Player: Who knows, pray?

you still need to make this call based on pot odds simply because opp could be betting an ace here as well as a flush imo.
It looks like a scared bet or a great value bet.

This is backwards.

Althought I can't imagine a hand I'd play like that you beat.

4:1 is juicy, but even a 2c and youre toast. i fold this

I agree...in #2 - I don't think this player value bets anything but a flush. It could be a bluff, but I don't think it is often enough even with 20% pot odds.

I like #1, except I prob bet more like pot size or more on the turn to look more bluffy, or something like $12 to milk 33-JJ. If I've been cbetting a lot I prob would bet the flop too, but it's good to mix it up.
