    Hand 1: I bet the flop for $0.80 here.

    Hand 2: Indeed no way you are ahead here.

    Hand 1: I can understand the reasoning and don't disagree (I may well have folded it myself). Neither do I mind peeling one off and donking into him trying to get a cheap show down (plus, you could improve to top boat!)

    Hand 2: Call the river. Any number of hands make this play often enough for you to be goot (any Q, eights, maybe even any T, any 9 (if the kicker is also lower than a 9, you split! Probably others, at these levels given what people will complete the SB with). I don't mind paying off the flush or the higher better trips.
    If I had a hammer
    I'd drop in the morning
    I'd drop in the evening..

    Default jk

    At 25NL no way im folding those.

    Hand 1. Re-raise, villain could have draw or smaller 2pr. He could
    have set but with no reads u cant give it too much probability. If
    he had a monster he would not want to scare you away.

    Hans 2. I think you r beaten here but I think I would still call 2.
    He could bluff your with a scare card. I know I would sometimes.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    hand 1: I'd call the raise on the turn and reevaluate on the river. I think folding here is really weak/tight and bad.

    hand 2: Sort of a tricky spot here. I'm not sure if it's the best play, but I'd probably bet this turn and fold to a substantial raise. But the check is fine and play on the river can be debated. Depends on the villain. I'd probably call this the majority of the time.
