Not sure but I think these were played OK

Just sat down ... enjoying my extended downswing. Trying to play correctly so what do you think? I had no reads on either player but table seemed rather tight and passive.

Hand 1:

Preflop OK. preflop call by villain indicates small-mid pockets.

Flop bet ok. Yellow light to get call.

Turn bet is donk play. No reason to go allin here. I am already
alerted by flop call because there is no draws so only reason
to call is set. I would bet 5 and check river.

Hand 2.

Small stack nightmare?

Preflop ok:

I cant put button on hand but it could be anything from
two pair to fl. Against short stack I think I would have called
too. As played I would put villain of fl draw and call him down.

I think they are both fine.

The Villain started the hand with $17 so I don't think this is a donk play at all. This is NL25 and we will get called by a lot of inferior hands.

I play 25 NL at ongame and I consider it a donk play
giving that every single table has half people notorious
nut campers.

So without a read it is a donk play no matter what. If u know
your opponent not to be a set farmet I think it might be ok.

I myself still would not play that hand like that. I like
to stack people like that myself

I'd say most of the time he is good here. You can't say that a check/call on a harmless board means a set without any certainty. He could have 9x, any low straight draw, or a pocket pair. A set is possible, definately, but a c/c line on the flop hardly points to one. At 25NL I think you are good most of the time.

I like hand 1 all in on turn if you feel villan is willing to call with AQ, AK, A9, or mid pocket pair. I think he will, because some people at these stakes feel like your line is an A high bluff.

The allin bets were a result of recent suckouts and a slight degree of tilt. As "usual", I was right ...

Hand one - villain had

Hand two - villain had

You were well ahead when the money went in in both cases. Nh sir.

Thanks. It just hurt to get stacked on both.

HHs are always read-spesific. Thats why I would played
hand 1 cautiously against unknown player. After I had
labeled villain as a fish,lag, tag or whatever I could choose
my play.

I dont want to play for stacks with top or overpair until
I have some kind of read. AA is rare exception here.

But Im kind of weak/passive anyway

Both of those rivers make me want to throw up...
