Hand 1: 66 or T9s or similar? Ehh.. I wouldn't fault you for calling it down but I'd dump.

Hand 2: Don't really see how you're getting away from 4:1 odds on such a board with a KK overpair.

the second hand is a call in almost all cases. and i think most times the first hand is a call too...there aren't many hands that beat you there, it depends a lot on what you know about the player...

but thats just me

is 66 going to check/call that flop? yea a 9- could make that play there...but to slow play the flop with a c/c and then c/push the turn like that seems so fishy...i don't know!!!!! i hate both of these hands combined! i'm calling all the way!

both of these hands i thought to myself prior to my last bet: "im gonna bet big, and i guess i gotta go all the way with this hand, here we go".. so they were instacalls.

however with KK, im not sure what hands c/r the turn that i beat. i did a crying call, hoping he had KK or AQ.

hand 1 i put the guy on Axs.

call and call

Hand 1 I say fold. A 41/12 villain will easily limp-call a raise with suited connectors and gappers.

Hand 2 I'd call. Again, play your opponents. 45/18 means he can have many other hands here that are not AA/QQ.

hand 1: check the turn. betting is only good against the diamond flush draw and i'm willing to take the chance

hand 2: can't get it in fast enough
