Sorry for the long time before reply cains m8.


Hand 1 dont worry about it. You definately have to bet that turn hard. I would be doing so there with top set let alone KK. It is a far better play than the alternative of giving a free card.

Hand 2. Against one lone opponent a bet is not bad here but I would be inclined just to check. I hate the fact the board is one tone when you dont hold any of that suit at all. If you did the bet would be automatic of course but here you are liable to get called a lot I feel which leaves you wondering where you are (and unable to play a big pot - even if you hit your hand he might have a flush already)
