Personally, on the first hand id be betting the flop, then on the turn id maybe bet out again and if they call or raise then im not really liking the hand and im checking it down or folding but it sort of depends on the player. 2nd hand not really sure about the all in on the river as your only getting called by hands that are beating you?

looks like you went for thin value on the first river and it didnt work out, second hand dosnt look to thin to me but an obvious raise, wp.

your name makes me want to raise into you more

First hand is spew. Why not bet flop? The only reason to check is if youre giving up on the hand, but then you decide to go crazy on the turn and river. What made hand would you actually play this way?

When you get called on the turn just check river. Youre trying to bluff someone off a hand they are never folding. If they do fold its because they had a ten so what do you gain?

2nd hand isnt interesting. I'd be more inclined to bet turn.

As for hand two, I think the check on the turn is fine.

First hand you are repping what exactly? What had do you 3-bet pre, check on an A-high board and then go crazy with after another ace hits and changes nothing. If you are 3-betting with JJ-KK then the ace on the turn is bad, if you are 3-betting with AQ/AK the ace on the flop is good. Just flat pre and play the hand for pot control in possition.

Second hand. Don't c-bet so much. Don't mid the 3-bet pre but you have to accept that you are playing it as a semi-bluff. c-bet 50% as standard in 3-bet pots. Reason for this is two fold: 1) you don't have to bet so hard through the streets to play for stacks 2) people play much more fit or fold post flop in 3-bet pots. Once you get called and you are checked to on the river I would just check behind and check or call the river. You do not get called by a worse hand when you raise on the river.

In general your 3-betting range from the button should be made up of very good hands (JJ+/AK) and speculative bluffs (suited connectors, ace-rag suited, suited one gappers). Hands like KQs and KTs are sort of in the middle. You have to fold them to 4-bets, but you also fold out a lot of hands that you have dominated. Decide whether you are 3-betting for value with a really good hand, or 3-betting as a bluff to fold out better hands. 3-betting with KQs means most worse hands will fold pre or call and fold on most flops potentially losing value, while better hands may just call and then "call for value" when you start barrelling away with top pair-weak kicker.
