    1. I probably call turn and look for cheap showdown. How often does a flush draw raise the flop and bet the turn? I'd think a fd would take the free card. I think a raise is usually just called by a better hand unless he happens to have QQ.

    2. I fold if UTG doesn't call the re-raise. I think it's fine to hunt for a set after UTG calls since BB probably isn't getting away from his overpair if your Q comes. I probably fold flop and cry.

    But what do you do on the flop as played?
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Hand 1: The small bet on the turn is just absolutely luring you in, I think you have to call..but I don't think I would push, as a player 32/17 could have practically any J in his hand. I'd call turn and probably 50/50 between lead out on a safe river and check-call.

    Hand 2: The key stat here is PFR of 2.5. If he only raises 2.5% of hands, what % of hands do you think he RE-raises with? AA, KK..and that's pushing it! I'm relatively certain you're behind here...relative enough to fold the flop, especially to a pot sized bet.
    Save your stories 'cuz they're all the same..

    hand 1, i took the bait and raised, he pushed. i knew he had a jack at that point and called. he had KdJd

    hand 2, couldnt lay it down, called "hoping" he had AK but paid to see that he had of course, AA.

    Hand 2 I fold to the preflop reraise so fast.. 2.5% PFR *reraises*.. lol he might aswell be playing with his cards face up

    ..and hand 1 I probably just call or maybe raise it, depending on my thoughts on opponent and my mood.

    hand1. Lead the turn fold to a raise. Half pot will be enough to encourage our miniraisor to tip his hand.

    hand2. ugh. I fold here on the flop, but i wouldnt with KK. Then again id probably 3bet KK preflop anyhow. I think folding QQ is a clear fold, so much as a full pot bet looks suspiciously like AK.
    I think you can argue for a preflop fold, although when UTG comes along too, perhaps you can call.
