OK , I understand what you mean now . I didn ' t think of that . Thanks . <| sep |> Hand 1 Your checkraise on the flop isolates you against one opponent , but I ' m a little worried about what your opponent has here . 87 is just unlucky though it ' s about to get luckier , T 9 , J 8 , QJ and spade draws might call . The problem with checkraising here is if your opponent is paying attention , he might figure out that you ' re really strong . On the turn , you boat up it ' s not the nuts , but it is very strong against what your opponent can hold only T 9 gets there , really . I ' d say that since you checkraised the flop , you should bet the turn when it ' s checked to you . If your opponent was on a draw , he ' s still drawing , if your opponent has trips , the stacks are going in and you ' re way ahead . On the river , you get a value bet in , but the truth is that you could have probably gotten his stack if you had bet the turn . Hand 2 Fold to Opp 1 ' s checkraise here normally , but it ' s clear you picked up a live tell . Good read .
