    With the KQ, why aren't we betting the turn? We can't give the villain credit for limp-calling with AK and the two pair hands aren't particularly likely. Just bet for value. Unlucky on the river, but these things happen.


    You need to explain your rationale for 3-betting pre-flop with AT before we can comment on whether it was good or not. 

    Post-flop, your c-bet is far too big on such a dry board. You can bet less than half pot on a flop like this because it's so hard for the villain to have any of it. It's also really unlikely that they'll fold a pair that they've peeled with pre-flop.

    Jamming the turn is fine with top-pair. Again, unlucky on the river.

    Likewise I see no reason to check the turn in the first hand. Only one hand is improved by the turn and it is not that likely he called with a gutshot. Sure, possible, but not as likely. Bet for value. Rest is bad luck.

    Second hand. Not sure I see point in the 3bet either when blinds are this low and with A10. waste of a lot of chips if you get 4bet after you. And agree about the fflop, not sure I see the point on a dry board to go so big. Unless he has part of it or a pair unlikely to call even a half pot bet. As played shove on turn is fine, and again bad luck on riverr.

    All in all, nothing really bad in either hand other than turn in first hand, and mostly just bad luck. That happens to us all, and the river can be a cruel mistress.

    Hand 1: Fire the turn, what are we scared of or why are we controlling the pot?

    Hand 2: Villain has shown in the previous hand that he will call our raise OOP with rags and he has also shown that he will call with gutshots etc so I like the 3bet here to isolate and have it us against him with us having position.  We can bet smaller on the flop as this board is so dry and hardly hits villains range so a bet ~130 is fine with the intentions of double barrelling most turns with another bet ~275.

    i really don't like the KQ limp in the 1st hand (altho you did induce by doing so), i would bet the turn but there is some merit in checking again if we're still going down the inducing line...both rivers are just unlucky, i'm not folding either

    1st hand I think you have to be betting the turn although as he's hit his 5 you may or may not see him off with a mid-range bet.

    2nd hand maybe no need to shove (better player would have folded) but you've got him in way ahead, just bad luck there.
