    2nd Shitty Spot :

    Villain seemed somewhat donkish (loose-passive pre) and I’ve been relatively aggro without being crazy so far but I haven’t seen villain show down crap or make any big bluffs post flop.

    Fwiw he hesitated a bit on the flop which makes me think he either made a crying call or wanted to raise :

    I think these are both frustrating folds. Especially the KK one since you're basically drawing dead to the Ace of diamonds and any river play is incredibly ackward. At least with QJ you definitely have outs.
    Family Cruise IMO

    i agree on the 1st, but id just call the 2nd since this could just be a "showdown" raise and its sorta wa/wb.

    in 1 did you think of checking here?
    2 is an easy fold IMO, anything that raises turn has your range smashed. Id prob turn to a c/c flop donk turn and see how he goes, gives him time to declare his hand strength,

    I think these are both very standard folds.

    the QJ one - dont you think it can be worse 2pr or even AQ? its just 45 more into a big pot.

    checking turn on 2nd hand seems not the best since it s unlikely i ll get raised by worse and fold incorrectly but there are a ton of KQ or Asx-type hands that will call

    turn play in hand 1 seems trickier. funny that I felt more confident about my range vs villain's range in hand 1 (KdKx) than hand 2.
