#1 – I like a call…The flop is bad for our range, but we can’t fold to such a small bet and two overs. I’d consider a raise if I had more backdoor equity depending on how aggressive V is, if I think they will fold to aggression, etc. We are in a great spot to apply pressure on later streets given our stack size advantage. Seems like we could fire a big bet on any broadway turn card.
#2 – This raise being much bigger and nearly 20% of opponents stack. I don’t think we have enough fold equity to raise, and if called, it is likely a hand with a lot of equity or a real kicker. I think call or fold should both be options. I’d fold this against a very tight, passive opponent b/c I’d read it as a better Q afraid of a draw heavy board…but mostly just call and evaluate what they do on turn.
