Hands of the Day

Played a couple of short sessions trying to grind out some Full Tilt Academy Challenges. Won a little and ran into a couple of interesting spots.

Hand #1
This was the very first hand of the session and I made it without the benefit of my HUD. I assumed villain was at least semi-competent based on his stack size. Going into the turn I think his range is largely one pair and I think I can make him fold. On the river, QQ makes a set and is never folding, so I'm not sure if firing again to get him off KK+ is better than giving up.

Hand #2
Villain is a solid reg. Raising this turn seems dubious - it seems like it lets him play perfectly against me. I was hoping to make him fold a set or possibly two pair that he can play like this, but I think he's happy stacking off here with a set and my raise just folds out all of his bluffs. It might be better just to flat the turn, try to get paid if I bink the river, check and win a showdown against some of his bluffs that give up on the river, and fold against his river 3-barrel range. However, he did tank before folding, so maybe I did make him throw away T9 or 77.
