Hand 1

Villain here is a laggier reg. He runs something like 18/16/4, and is cbetting 85% of flops, and 2barreling 21% of turns, over a large sample.

I felt that making some sort of play against this villain would be profitable fairly often given his cbetting stats. So I decided to float; however, I'm wondering if bluff raising would be more correct. My only problem with bluff raising is "I" wouldn't be taking that line with any of my nut hands. So I figured I should be floating more often in this spot to balance my range. Is this the right line of thinking?

Turn: ($43, 2 players)
HeliKa0N checks, Hero bets $26, HeliKa0N calls $26

River: ($95, 2 players)
HeliKa0N checks, Hero bets $56, HeliKa0N folds

Tbh, I'm not sure if a bet here is going to be profitable? I believe he folds any Tx hands he peels the turn with, but am unsure about the rest of his range.

Final Pot: $95

Hero wins $148 ( won +$46 )
HeliKa0N lost -$46




Hand 2

Villain is a 13/8/4 reg. This hand is nothing big, but I'm wondering if I really should be betting this flop or not, and what I hope to accomplish if I am betting. Would I be doing it to get value from flush draws, weaker pairs, etc? Or as somewhat of a bluff/protection? This obv isn't a big pot or anything, but I occasionally run into spots where I'm unsure if i should be betting my hand with marginal SD value or not, and would like to see if I'm correct in some of those spots.
