2nd hand is fine with 3-1 on the river no way u fold the strt, 1st hand i definately call the flop & re-assess on the turn, based on his stats he could be betting w/any number of hands & thats a pretty dry flop which is nice for a c-bet

nilgiri, what are your stats on the two tables? since both villains in those hands have reasonably solid stats, i would assume they are good enough to either have stats or at least some sort of read on how you play. this is especially important in hand #2.

hand 1. i might sometimes peel a card, but i guess this guy is easily aggressive enough to double-barrel a lot, making the hand really tough to play on future streets. r/f is also an option but i think i'd stick to just folding.

hand 2. what hands can possibly have you beat here? all i can think of that might play this way is A4s and AJ... and possibly 44. and most of these hands probably bet turn, since he is aggro. meanwhile he can have any other suited ace, as well as some floats. raising the river is definitely an option, but the problem is that stack sizes are just so weird. i can't imagine us being good very often when we get shoved, but we will be getting like 3 or 4 to 1 and it will be such a tough fold. this is why i'd like to know what your stats/image are, because if you are a tight player then i can see him getting away from a bare ace if you 3-bet. however, if you're on the laggish side, he will have a much tougher decision with an ace and i think there's definitely value in raising to $60 or so.

I'm slightly laggy. Not terribly so, but I tend to run something like 23/19 on average. Definitely not really tight. I'm pretty sure I was running a littler laggier when this hand happened. I'm also pretty aggressive, and I'm sure my opponents have noticed this.

I haven't read too many of the replies yet, but I'd call the flop in hand 1 unless I had reason to expect that villain would be checking air a lot there.

In the 2nd hand I bet 4 instead on the flop to make it a bit less likely I get floated/bluffraised. On the river I'm pretty tempted to shove (or at least 3-bet some amount) just because it seems so unlikely that you're ever behind. He needs to have either been trapping PF with a huge hand or have exactly AJ.
