Both look good to me.

Bandana boy

both look fine
I might value bet the river in hand 1 if board doesnt pair again and an ace doesnt hit as ace hits I am happy with checking down

Hand 2 cant believe he folded to 30 back he must have had complete air i wouldnt worry about missing this 32 bills

Ste05

Yep, both look grand...

I'm confused in hand 2 you say your the sb, yet you don't tell us your hole cards?

In hand one, what is the villian's range for calling a strong reraise like that?

He's the button, not the SB and he has AA.

In hand 1

I prefer to bet this flopit in pos..you will get called by any PP where P>5.
He bets 1/2 pot on turn, i would raise here alot, but if you raise him here it now looks like a Q, or what you have (AA KK).
But how aggressive have you been? Will a raise here make him fold 99 or the likes.
depending on alot of things i LIKE a half pot bet on river...

So obv. the A on river sucks, and i assume you would have value bet a brick..But I prefer to bet flop check turn(maybe) and value bet river.
As opposed to check flop, bet turn bet river...

I much prefer checking the flop in hand one.

MM I think alot will agree with you.
How often do u bet this flop? Do you bet AK here.
I see merits in both depending on Xyz..

I think U get stacked less if you check this flop whe villain has Q or FH.
<< But I think you get more value from his more likely holdings when you bet.

Betting this flop will definitely lead to trickier situations but these are not to be avoided.

I probably bet the flop in position in hand one, just because I'd do it if I missed with AK or the like. But I do see the merits of a check.

Are people suggesting that they only bet with a Q here, or would they check that as well?

Ste05

I check with just about everything...
