    Default couple hands vs reg - 5/10 deep

    -Villain in both of these hands is the same and he is probably one of the better regs on the site
    -some background: most recent hand we had together was yesterday and he posted about it on 2+2
    http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/56...s-sexy-310058/
    -he got fancy double c/r'ing me and I called him pretty light with tp meh kicker on a wet board
    -villain runs 21/17/3.4 with a 3bet of 7% and these were our first big hands together today

    Hand 1
    -2/5 pounds 270bb deep
    -what's the best turn line once raised?

    $2/$5 No Limit Holdem
    4 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    Hero ($1433.40)
    BTN ($1354.55)
    SB ($495.00)
    BB ($373.80)

    Pre-flop: ($7, 4 players) Hero is CO
    Hero raises to $15, BTN calls $15, 2 folds

    Flop: ($37, 2 players)
    Hero bets $30, BTN calls $30

    Turn: ($97, 2 players)
    Hero bets $75, BTN raises to $275, Hero ??


    Hand 2
    -2/5 pounds and deep
    -Not sure what the best way to play this hand is. I feel like villain would expect me to 4-bet AA/AK/KK and he's probably mostly right so a flop raise isn't repping too much
    -I'm really tempted to raise turn though

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    1) You can't make a very big mistake here. I'd usually call this down, but raise is fine too.

    2) You like your IO or FE here? IO seems pretty decent at least. You can still rep stuff like JJ/98s/KJ/99/88 even though some of those don't seem very probable. I'd lean towards calling, but if he's very loose from the SB and barrels a lot, then a raise can be good too. Don't overestimate your pot equity though.

    1) if you call, what's your plan for a diamond river? Just c/f?

    2) Yah I figured that definitely with position + implied odds, flatting the turn is definitely going to be profitable when I hit. It's hard to figure out if raising is more profitable though... or maybe even a flop raise?

    Hand 1: interesting spot. Agree with p4's.

    after you don t raise the flop I don't think you can raise turn in hand 2

    hand 1 it's a little thin but it sounds like you guys have a spewy dynamic so I'd call and CR any non-diamond riv
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Yah hand 2 I agree with the comments so far, and I definitely just flatted the turn. River blanked and he bombed and I folded.

    Hand 1 contined:
    -whats my best river play? am I afraid of a better boat here ever?
