3 hands - a rough start and 1 common situation
------------------
HAND #1
------------------
One the first hands at the session, villain is unknown.
Comments on both the flip check and whether b/f is better,
and if I can ever call river on this particual board, or if I could on a 2 to a flush board.

Still the beginning of the session...I had a rough start. Unknown villain, I think anything up until river is fine, I can't call right?

HAND #3
------------------
Villain was 8/8 over 50 hands, don't remember his agression factor. I had no reads on him.
It's a pretty common situation; calling a raise preflop, flopping and likely having the best hand but don't want to see a lot of turns.
(there's another thread where a more or less similar hand is discussed)
I really can't decide wether a flop c/r (and fold to a push) is a better line than c/c flop.
In this hand I c/c'ed planning on c/f'ing at least any J+ turn, maybe even all turns.
That line seems SO weak and exploitable to me, if villain knows his image he can double barrel at least any J+ turn.
On the other hand, a flop c/r is for protection only, which doesn't feel like a very good argument.
