I fold both ;__;

[Fnord]

Hate the call in the first hand.
Second hand I think the call is ok.

[Stacks]

Can I ask why we checked the turn in hand 1?

If he bets the turn he has outs + a possible best hand and is pretty much committed. Checking behind he can call a reasonable river bet or put one in. When he gets shoved on it's probably a fold but it really depends on how the game plays and what he thinks of his opponent.

[ATOTHEC101]

turn check is fine in hand 1, but the calls really bad, 9s in his rane more often than you think and hed also do this with alot of 2 pair combos.

hand 2 you played fine up to the river which is once again a fold for me, kq,jq,qq and aq all firmly in his range here.

A little deception, too. Opp instacalled the flop bet and when he checked the turn I didn't think he'd improved, so I decided to check behind to make it look like I'd missed and induce a stab on the river. Wasn't expecting a shove but then I figured he didn't want a call so I did.

MHIG in both cases, villains had QTo and AKo respectively.

hand 1: i dont like a call on the river at all.
hand 2: you must call his overbet with your set.

[pgil]

referring to hand 1, I attempted to bluff this exact board last night with a missed QJo. didn't work for me either, but then I didn't make a retarded overbet push.

[Warpe]

I hear ya'll on hand 1.

When he gets shoved on it's probably a fold but it really depends on how the game plays and what he thinks of his opponent.

...villain's stack had a lot to do with it.

[cardsman1992]

I think Hand 1 is far better to call than hand 2.

[badgers]

i fold both without reads
