I just saw these hands and thought I'll post them here.

Both times I actually am not really happy with what they suggest.

But what do you guys say?

His advice is to check/fold the flop or if raised, fold on turn is correct.
He would only bet flop as last to act.

Actually I personally would 90% fold turn too, but always bet the flop.

hand 1- Hero is in position here if I read the post right? Hero has middle pair with a lousy kicker and a small flush draw. Pot is laying just under 3:1. I'd play here. I call, if my flush is good I want callers and with no reads I'm not sure I've enough fold equity to win the pot if I push here. I think my stack size will assist me in getting other bets if I hit as short stacks will often chase with nothing at these limits.

hand 2- Stack sizes? I bet this flop 3 handed. I might not be so inclined to fold the turn. The 7[h] is not necessarily bad for us. In an unraised pot we have a lot of hands we are ahead beating. Villain has bet 60% of the pot here. Does he have more than TP? True it might be a suck bet by Villain but this board may be as scary for him as for Hero. I might call and re-evaluate or semi-bluff/value raise here (turn). If I am sure I'm behind I am folding but I'm not certain I'm against more than TP and a draw. I haven't run numbers yet but that is my feeling without any other reads. Read dependent.
