I would put a reraise in that turn on hand #1. You're hoping he hit a flush right? Something modest to build the pot and make a bigger river raise easier to call.

In hand #2 I don't know what you could have done really to get more out as it was played. When I'm in your position on that flop I tend to raise there anyway hoping to steal it. That would have helped to build the pot, but meh, what can you do?

Agreed on both counts.

Yeah, hand 1, I was hoping he'd made the flush on the turn and would stick the rest in on the river, but his 1/2 potter seemed weak. Turned out he had a Q for a pair.

Hand 2, gotcha on raising the flop from the button but I was starting to get played back at for my button aggressiveness and didn't want to play into a c/r. Here he made the nut flush on the river, but his check didn't say that. Not sure if I should've pushed here or not. He obviously was wary of the paired board or else he would've check raised.

wtf Silver Surfer? I was gone for like 3 days is there a weird new comic book av month or something?

I don't mind the call on the turn in hand 1, but I think I would probably raise and pray he had a flush.

Hand 2 looks like it was played perfect to me.
