    Default $500NL, how good/bad are these plays?

    Hand 1:
    -Villain is 19/10/2.3 over 800ish hands, but at the time of this hand villain had been 3-betting me a LOT. he stopped after I started floating him
    -Flat call PF, I'm pretty sure no big hands are in villains range so flop check raise was probably either a FD or some mid pair
    -Tried repping AK/KK on turn and river

    Hand 2:
    -Haven't played much with this player, ran 23/17 over only 47 hands
    -Given that I had no reads, I assumed that his flat calls PF of my BIG 4-bet meant he prob had AA/KK or maybe AK (bad assumptions?)
    -should I bet somewhere here?

    I partly like hand 1. Villains flop c/r could very well be a random bluff or FD. Your turn bet is kind of small, but it sets up the river bet nicely. After he checks I really think he has a missed FD. If you think he folds 88, 99, TT or Kx, I like it, otherwise you can just check behind.

    Hand 2: I think you can 4-bet a bit less, like 130. There is room for a small bet somewhere then, to see if you're up against JJ. That's the only hand you beat though, so as played I don't mind folding.
