Btw wanted to bet 4.9 in hand 1

I'm pretty certain that people get influenced by the betsize
when I want someone to fold I bet X.90, in this case i wanted to bet 4.9
when i want to get a call i bet 5.1 or 4.1
I can't be sure but I think people more often think x.90 is a lure, because it looks "nice"
I found out i'm more tempted to call a 3.10 dollar bet in a 4 dollar pot, those 10 cents look tempting.... and i0m more afraid to call someone betting 2.90
what do you think?

Hand 1. As played, I call. If I was villain i wouldve bet full pot on river and I am sure yu (a decent/good player) wouldve folded more than 50% of the time. That is why i dont like your line there. If you had bet 10 on turn you could've folded to a raise knowing that it is the highest EV move.

Hand 2. I fold that one only because of button. If it was HU, I am calling 1/2 buy in all in from an UBBERDONK with TPTK all day and twice on wednesdays .

Hand 1: I think the fold is good.

Hand 2: I would like a read on button. Since BB is a reraising donk, button doesn't need a big hand to call. Therefore, your AK may be good, even dominating. I would push if button seems at all loose. If he's a rock, then I can see a fold. However, I 3-bet this first time rather than call.

BTW: Do not size your bets based on whether you want a fold or not. What if someone gets a read on that?
