    Default I raised, I caught a piece.. but facing aggression

    Hand 1:

    -villain is 34/9/2
    -Villain had check raised my last contination bet, so I thought I'd look him up here on the flop. no other reads.


    Cryptologic
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    5 players

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $118
    Hero: $125.75
    Button: $48
    SB: $135
    BB: $140.50

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with
    UTG folds, Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, BB calls.

    Flop: ($8.5, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $6.5, BB raises to $13, Hero calls.

    Turn: ($34.5, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $18, BB raises to $48, Hero ??

    Hand 2:

    -this table was playing VERY tight, and I started raising very light the last few hands to loosen things up
    -limpers were somewhat donkish
    - BB is 22/3/1.8 over only 100 hands and has been shorty for a while
    - CO is 67/20/2 over the last 60 or so hands and
    - This is a marginal decision, but do I need to call the flop push because of pot odds? or do I fold here due to reverse implied odds, given that I could be behind BB or CO even if I hit?
    (note: I would call this push if it was just me and BB, but not sure what to do with CO calling the bet and raise)

    Hand 1 is tough kinda... Turn is definitely a call, the problem becomes is villain value betting any 9 on turn/river. You are definitely ahead of part of his CR range here so you have to call turn. River is gonna be tough... I think you see a worse nine here a lot, though against a villain this aggro I think you probably call a river shove if no diamond or one card str8 hits.

    Hand 2: call and C/F any non 4, non 7 turn.
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum

    Can I really just flat call this turn c/r? I almost feel like its push or fold. Or call with the intention of being all in on the river. If I call, and get pushed on the river: Its gonna be $55 to me and the pot will be $195 before my call. So I only need to win 22% of the time. Definitely pot committed if I get to the river.

    Double check-raises confuse me!

    first hand i agree with sauce, flop min c/r is very weak meaning midpair alot, i dont see him doing this with JJ 10-8 or 77. i think your beating a smaller 9, pushing the turn or calling a river push doesnt really matter to me its all getting all in there anyway in my opinion.

    hand 2 call and check it down unless you hit a 7 or 4. the CO wont bet in a dry side and if he does your already waayyy behind
