    Default 2 50nl hands for checks.

    HAND 1

    SB runs 24/18/2 3bets 4% over 150 hands. Takes pot control lines more often then not when he has initiative and seems half decent.
    BB is fishy loosepassive.
    Is checking this flop bad? I know if i bet this flop then i probably don't face a tough river decision. I don't know why i c/b flop here, these guys aren't super aggro and aren't c/ring lots of flops...no real reasoning behind it. Is this river a fold as played though?

    I usually bet flop in #1. As played I dont think you´re ahead here a lot, you´re not looking very weak and fishy probably lowers his bluffing freq.

    I dont like playing KJs vs an UTG raise.

    Just cbet hand 1. I think he has a lower flush, maybe Ax, often enough to call.

    I fold hand 2 preflop. Flop is fine if you're not doing it too much, imo.

    #1: indeed bet flop. On river, we are facing a 2-1 pot odds. Our range is on the average/strong side. Villain does not seem very aggro. I don't think he has a lot of bluffs in his range and trip aces does not play like this on this board. I think he puts us on a flush or Ace and hopes we call his FH.
    #2: fold pre.

    1. bet the flop for sure here. i like jimmy's thinking on the river, though i would have a hard time talking myself into a fold in real time.

    2. fold pre like everyone else has said. unless villain is raising like 20% of hands from EP (found from the HEM pop up stats) then just muck this. if you're going to raise this flop, you need to raise to atleast 3x. Why not jut float here? you have overs + BDFD and pick up decent equity on alot of turns not to mentione he's going to give up on alot of turns.

    as played def. bet the turn with a picked up FD + GS.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Hand 1 - Bet flop, your bet looks really strong and scary on this board. As played, raise turn harder harder. Somebody has an ace, and they will have a very hard time folding it. I bump it to 14, and it makes river easier to play. As played, I think this is a fold.

    Hand 2 - Fold pre sometimes, fold flop mostly, but once in a while this is good.
