Hand 1

Shorty is new, no prior reads. Flop bet smells like a bluff to me, but sudden push on turn makes me wonder otherwise.

Hand 2

Guy has been TAG, solid player. Normally I limp 22-99 looking for sets and call small raises, but now I'm considering adding 1010 to that group as well. Very tough to play 10's in raised pots when overs hit. when the flush hits, I consider myself beat -- either he had the jack, or had the FD.

Only way I feel like I coulda played the hand was to re-raise him to $5 on the flop, but any jack and some flush drawers call any way.
