1 - I'm pretty sure it's OK but I could be wrong.

2 - This is terrible. If he's a regular, what do you think your line looks like? A flush? no. A Q? no. I think he puts you on exactly what you have, AIR. Think about your blufflines and what you're trying to represent instead of thinking "OMG he duznt have it I BET"

IMO hand 2 is a reasonable bluff line. K and Q hits alot of hero's SB 3-bet pre range and his check on flop could look like a c/r attempt that didn't work or a Q that was scared to lead out on flop that's now good.

Only real problem I see is he wasn't really repping flush draw and shoves when flush comes on river. Nonetheless weird hero call by villain as he doesn't beat much.

Let me know if I am off here.

1 - Why do you wan't to limps 45s utg? What are you hoping to accomplish? Being OOP with a draw on the flop? Honestly, this is spew at 10nl. The reason being that "tricky" plays don't usually work because most of your opponents are playing their cards, not yours. As played, I would've called the flop bet, not reraised all in. Your hand is a nice draw, but you need to look at your opponents' actions. The raise ai by SB is probably a pair, maybe a draw. But the BB is fine with smooth calling, instead of reraising to isolate, which probably means he's slowplaying a set. Most people are going to stack off a set regardless of the board at these stakes, so there's no need to rush him ai when he's ahead....wait to catch your card and then push.

2 - Basically your line reads bluff, and he has a bluff catching hand. The question is how do you play your draws? do you check the flop, lead the turn, and ai the river? Do you check TPTK on a flush draw board OOP?

1. Don't ever open limp. Fold preflop.
2. Stop bluffing with 2 outs/they have a tight range.

Hans 1: I didn't realize myself I limped in... I think it was a misclick, but after that, should I be happy to get it in with that draw?

Hand 2: I was actually planning on check-raising the flop (and act like I had Aces), but since he checked behind I decided to be aggressive like I intended to c/r on flop... I guess that was kinda dumb lol... I wasn't trying to act like I had a draw at all and I was pretty sure he didn't have a draw and he kenw I didn't have a draw... I thought he'd have to put me on AA or AK or KK or AQ or QQ... Or pretty much any hand better than 99 on that board (since I 3bet from the blinds)-.-

Hand 1 fold low suited connectors from EP. Yeah getting it in on the flop is fine.
Hand 2 I only raise this significantly deep with a tight image. As played just c/f he isn't folding anything. You missed your bluffing opportunity on the flop
