    Hand 1: turn is fine, I see no reason to bet here. On the river you seem very beaten but I cant find a fold with the odds you are getting on a call. Btw, reraise more prf (to about 15 or something).

    Hand 2: Mostly I go into c/f mode here, but sometimes I fire a 2nd barrel

    Why? What does 2 more dollars do? Isnt 3x the original raise standard?

    Hand 2: I would just bet the turn, if he get raised we can fold. Middle pairs can look you up and there is no reason to give overcards more chances to hit.

    Hand 2, what worse hands call a bet on the turn, and what better hands that call a pot-sized bet on the flop fold? I really see no point in betting. Also, I wouldn't bet quite as much on the flop. Your opponents either missed completely or aren't folding more often when you bet full pot than when you bet slightly less. Basically, I dont' think it's necessary to risk a pot-sized bet just for the sake of winning the pot.

    Plus, against an unknown, you're being slow-played a high percentage of the time. This is an easy check behind.

    I agree. So what do I do when the river comes a 2c and he bets half pot into me?

    Also how does this situation change (if at all) when I have JJ on the same board?

    In hand 2 how often does he expect you to have a queen here an bet another street. Youll fold a lot of hands that you dont want to show down against imo. Fold to a raise, but play a queen like this and it get fun.

    lol typos

    If we have a queen we bet both streets. If we dont we check behind and then prob have to call a river bet.
    If we thus bet the turn opp needs to raise to tell us we are beat but may fold a number of 2nd best hands (that may beat us) that he considers good in this spot, including an 8.
    Even if a queen plays it real slow and c/c's we are again in position to analyse teh river play, which includes checking behind.
    Imo, checkng teh turn only works effectivly if youll do it with AQ/KQ type hands in other situations and raise the river when opp bets oop (hopefully) That will also open up a bluff line for us too in other situations, ie. bet check raise value river bet with nothing and hope to not showdown and steal.
