Thanks

First hand I bet a second barrel. It's not a fact he has a flush draw plus K is scary plus we have like 1023123312432 outs. Second hand : Shove turn. K is a blank, we only have to be worried about 9K or KK wich got us beat at flop.

Hey Odin444,

I would recommend u posting just 1 hand per thread :)

On this turn with QcQs, I would bet because you have a SD+FD so you have decent equity there and you can definitly fold out better hands :)

In the 2nd hand you should bet the Turn again or call this river IF you raise this flop. Sometimes I do raise the Flop, sometimes I do not depending on stats

Hope it helps

Best regards,
Gerv

Thanks for the responses guys and apologies for the multi hand posting (I played them in close succession and figured I would have them both looked at in one go as they were quite similar)

Figured I should have kept with the aggression, just thought I was being slow played for some reason

Thanks for that
