A few others from tonight

Sorry for the double thread night. I am going through more hands than usual tonight, teaching myself to multitable.

c/r better on the river? Or is the value bet good?

What about here? Fire a second on the turn? I thought about checking the river, but I figured I could get value out of an ace maybe.

In the first hand I like betting closer to pot on every street because of the deepstacks.

I like the way you played the second hand, checking the river is bad. Bet/fold is infinitely better. It's unlikely he raises the river w/o a flush given the turn action. Of course it depends on the amount he raises though.
