    Hand 1 bet more on river (potting is close to shoving so just shove).

    Hand 2 is probably better to just shove since you're almost def priced in and his range isn't exclusively spades if he fires.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I would think the biggest loss in value is not raising pre-flop in Hand 2.

    Hand 1

    Preflop is fine, the flop I may bet a little more $1.75 - splitting hairs lol
    The turn bet is fine, but I'm betting more on the river, make it about $12 and I'm calling any push obv.

    How had the villain not felted here? I've got no idea unless your stats are so nitty? He should have reraised the flop and turn - he got away lightly

    Hand 2

    Raise preflop to $1, good reraise on the flop, good bet on the turn. Just have the balls to make that last value bet on the river - you've got to push it. If he has a flush reload and take it like a pro!

    hand 1: shove river. Agains a really aggro villain i dont mind this because they will shove over, but this villain is obv. pretty passive.

    hand 2: definitly raise it up preflop. Dont always be afraid when the flush completes. At this level, people will definitly be calling any bet on the flop/turn trying to hit their flush but when villain min-raises the flop like this he will have a K way more than he has a flush draw.

    stats on the villains would be nice.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Yeah this hand is kinda weird. Personally I raise TT from all positions, sometimes 3bet with it. From 99-77 I start to look at my position and other players etc to see if I raise it up or not.
