I just sat at the table basically but figured Villain to be donkish, probably because of his name and also because he was the only one with a bigger stack at the table, and 4 other players I know as regs... So I figured they are all there for the same guy more or less..

At the time of this hand, I didn't know villains tendencies or anything since the hand was like my 4th at the table... How's my line and river all-in in this hand?

This hand happened shorty after.. Now, given that I have played a hand against this guy already, and his numbers started shaping up... would you bet differently on turn? Would you check raise (if given opportunity) turn, or would you just come out betting river after checking turn?

Without a real read I'd say your river all in in hand 1 is awful. I would also say if you believe villain is a donk then your turn bet sucks too.

As for hand 2 considering you still have like 250 going into the turn I'd just continue to bet. I'd probably just bet like 90 or so though.

Hand 1: Double barreling vs a donk is not optimal to begin with, doing so when the turn blanks is really really bad.

Hand 2: If ever there was a turn card to check it was that one.
