Okay, so this was my first full session in about 4 months (I hope you folks missed me!)and I was definitely feeling a little rusty. Here's some questionably played hands for review.
Hand 1:
Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players
Stack sizes:
Hero: $238
UTG+1: $246.10
CO: $264.34
Button: $205.80
SB: $198
BB: $64.20
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with
Hero raises to $7, UTG+1 raises to $12, 4 folds, Hero calls.
Flop: ($27, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $15, Hero raises to $45, UTG+1 calls.
Turn: ($117, 2 players)
Hero bets $85, UTG+1 calls.
River: ($287, 2 players)
What should I do here? I'm not laying down to a bet. Should I check to induce a bluff in case he has a busted draw?
Hand 2: Opponent seems to pretty loose, but no real read on his aggression.

I called on the flop thinking that he had an overpair. Filling up on the turn was not my intention and kind of surprised me, should I have check-raised the turn or bet smaller on the river?
