I fold the second hand.

I raise the first hand and hope he checks the turn so we can have a free river.

I'd call and fold the turn unimproved in #1. In #2 I'd just fold.

#1 hand: You have an early raiser. Not having any information on how this early raiser has been playing makes it difficult. You have two options here though. You can call preflop with the TT or you can raise. The advantage of raising is that your raise will tend to isolate the early raiser by making it more difficult for later positions to enter the pot.

The flop was horrid for you. 3 wheelhouse overcards on the flop to your mid-pair. You have 6 cards that improve your hand and the pot is at 7 BB's. 3 of those outs are the nuts (3 non-club Kings). The K of clubs is also a strong out here. The remaining 2 Tens would be very dangerous since if your opponent has a K it would give him a str8. This would however give you a chance to pair the board for a boat. A good estimate of your outs is therefore prolly 5.

You are almost gauranteed to be behind at the moment. I would be VERY surprised if an early raiser didn't at least have some of that flop. Janus has also raised into you on this flop. I would put Janus' flop bet here as a str8 value bet. You have a 10% chance to hit on the turn and must put in 13% of the pot. This makes calling a slightly bad bet. However, if you hit you should be able to get bets on the turn and river. I think calling the flop bet is about a break-even situation here. Use your judgement based on your knowledge of this opponent.

If you don't improve on the turn you will have to put in 2 BB's into a 9 BB pot. Assuming all the same cards are still likely outs, you will not be able to call to see the river if raised and should fold.

Hand #2: You must put in 2 bets into a 3BB pot. 66 here isn't all that great. But if you hit a 6 on the flop (1 in 8.25) you are in good position to extract some bets from your opponent(s). No information on the opponents here, including those yet to act. If you are feeling frisky here you might call (most likely this is a fold though). Since you are 1 in 8.25 use your judgement as to whether you can get the needed 15BB's to give you positive expectation here. With one opponent I would think this very difficult since you would have to extract more than 2 bets on each of the next three rounds. Most opponents putting in that many bets might have a set beat. But if your opponent is VERY loose and aggressive or you think you can get a 3-way pot it may be worth a shot. Use your read of your opponents here.

I would most likely fold here.

Incidently, slightly odd betting here by Janus from Under the Gun.

Preflop raise from UTG should indicate a premium hand. You would therefore expect a reraise from Janus until the betting is capped. Janus just called your raise though on the flop. Not knowing Janus' tendencies I would put Janus' most likely holding here as AQ. JJ and MAYBE QQ are possible too. I would be raising up with QQ but some might not. The other possibility here is that Janus is holding KK. There are some who will just call preflop to see if an Ace flops when holding KK. AK and AJ are possible but not likely. Janus does not have AA.

Against an unknown opponent I would estimate:

AQ 35%
JJ 25%
QQ 15%
KK 10%
AK 5%
AA 0%
AJ 5%
Low pair or rag 5%

Hand 1: I folded to the flop bet. The opponent told me he had TT beat but he did say I was ahead preflop. He wouldn't tell me his exact hand.

Hand 2: I folded preflop.
