2 very simple NL100 hands

Exact HH not available now. I have them at home so maybe later.

Stacks 100BB

I raised to $4x behind 1 limper w/ QQ in button. SB (15/6) repopped to $13. Limper folded, I called
Flop J72 rainbow. SB bet $22 into $27 pot, I raised AI, SB folded

Question
1) Standard?
2) IMO My bet was one that would only be called by better hands. But given stack sizes was there a better line?

Hand 2

I raised to $5 w/ AJhh. MP open-limper (20/8) called.
Flop AdKd6s. Limper donked $7, I flat-called.
Turn Js. Pot was $24. Limper check-called $18.
River Td. Limper led $40 into ~$60 pot, Do I puke-fold?

1. Just call. You have position and the only hand you beat folds to your raise and shuts down unimproved on the turn. If oop then push more often, but probably still a call.

2. You are so beat. 20/8 doesn't turn a worse 2p or less into a large river bluff here.

So you never played hand 2? Liar.

What did you have?

hand one call flop with intention of folding any turn

hand two fold river.

Lol
I know you didn't forget it
I had 97 spades
I donked flop coz I thought you would fold all pocket pairs, so obviously you had TP
I c-called turn coz I thought you might pay off my unlikely backdoor draw
river bluff was out of desperation
Just wondering whether you would call with the straight (naked queen)

BTW villain in hand 1 was BankitDrew
I didn't really want to get involved with him (or anybody that I recognize for that matter), but on the other hand I don't want to dump my queens

Hand 1 is bad. What range do you put a OOP 15/6 3-bettor on here? The only thing you beat is AK and your play allows him to lose the least with that hand and easily take your stack with JJ/KK/AA.

That board hits most of my range, I have position, and flop donks are usually suspect.

Nice bluff!

I remember that hand.

Do you also remember what you were wearing at the time?

probably sweatpants.
