i'd just fold hand 1. i don't really expect villain to be mr not believing pants on this board, and since you didn't mention any metagame, i assume there isn't any history between you two.

i tend to peel 1 street in hand two but i'm pretty sure that's a leak. like every hand that beats us is in his range, and usually when he's bluffing, he has a lot of outs against our hand anyway. also, if he's crazy enough to take this line with a bluff/5x, then he's probably not completely incapable of firing again on the river. even 5x will throw out a blocking bet a lot, which prices us into calling small bets on the river

I'm honored to have been the recipient of your 1500th post :P

I just feel like I'm seeing minraises on the flop and turn ALL the time in the midstages of tournaments. I've been a cash game players for most of my time playing so I'm always like loloddsicallu but then I realize that it's not likely to be a bluff and even that minraise is a decent percentage of my stack.
