I don't complete with this hand...doesn't really have alot of value other than trip 5's and flopping a non nut straight.
Hand #2:CB bet...this isn't a great flop for you but It might not be good for anyone else. You can check a turn and call a decent river bet...or you can bet on the turn again if you feel he is on the flush draw. I fire $11-13.
A call on my CB bet here means SLOW DOWN. I probaby check the turn no matter who calls. If both call, I am done with the hand. This would be alot easier with some kind of read.

Hand #2: I half bet the pot - 3/4 pot and fold to a raise. Really that isn't a terrible flop for you. The Q may help a random donkey with AQ or KQ but I think you are more worried about a draw than a Q here.
If I get called I decide if he was drawing or not but most likely I am checking the turn

My first thoughts are this looks like an easy CB. But do I really want to fire out a $9-$10 shot on a board where I'll have no idea if a call means a slowplayed set, a queen, or a draw? Since I raised in middle position 4x BB and got two callers, two of the most likely hands they can have are AQ/KQ. If I check here and I am leading, chances are I can still take it away on a non-threatening turn. If I check and the guy behind me bets, I can comfortably fold if the SB calls or raises. If MP2 bets a small amount and I don't think he's packing I can check-raise him and win a bigger pot, and lastly, if it checks around and SB leads the turn he most surely has a queen. I check behind with the intention of taking it down if the jacks are still good, and maybe even getting a call if I bet the turn and a villian has 77-TT. My post-flop aggression factor is 6.5, so obviously a lot of things have to come into perfect allignment for me to give it a check, but this is one I'm pretty happy about. Thoughts?
