    1st hand is an easy fold. You're either a coinflip or really far behind.

    2nd hand is probably a fold on the turn. I really doubt he plays a worse hand like KQ this way. You can find a better spot.

    Does anyone like the 4bet/fold line in the first hand?

    Its definitely a fold. If the stacks were 100bb though, its going to be a call after you put in a third of your stack.

    My logic behind the 4-bet fold is that if he 5-bets me, I'm pretty certain he has AA, or KK. I'd rather fold at this point, since I essentially have to fold if I miss the flop and if I spike a King I could still be behind.

    If I'm marginally behind, its probably only against QQ, and I still miss majority of flops.

    Any feedback on hand 1? I'd appreciate some thoughts on how good/bad 4-betting AK and then folding to a 5-bet preflop, is, against an unknown villain.

    Hand 1: I suck with AK but this is definately a fold. He gave you the info you wanted now you have to use it. He's trying to milk you and scared that pushing will get a fold instead of the call, open flop push he wants.

    Fold, next hand.
