what are you representing here? 97? doesn't seem like the best oppurtunity to second barrel into the preflop/flop raiser.

i agree that the thought process is more quesitonable than the play. you say that you played it because it has good value as a heads up hand yet you plan to "make a move postflop" regardless of the board? sounds to me like you're playing it as a bluff in which case i like 3betting more. again, though, it's thought-process-dependent.

as far as the second hand goes i agree with everyone that you have to be sure that he actually makes this play with 50% of his range with according to the information you have you DO NOT!!!! if he made three raises and one of them got called down and he showed pocket fives or Q7s then i'm calling here, but as it stands you know nothing. i've made plays like this before when i just happened to get AA AK and KK in the matter of five or so hands and overbet them so that people make the same MISread you're making here.
