Couple of interesting hands here. The first is just a brag - figured he was too polarised on the river with the sizing he chose.

The second hand was reeeeeal tough. I've flip-flopped about 4 or 5 times between loving my river call and hating it. This is a spot I see a lot of people checking back flop with close to 100% of their range. OTR it feels like he's super polarised to Qx only and bluffs. Given preflop I think he's unlikely he has anything other than AQ and a small number of combos of Qxs so I like my A blocker. Problem is it's also difficult for people to turn up with bluffs here. Given his value range and my 2:1 odds i only need him to have a few bluff combos, do people turn up with AJ and AK often enough? Given this is likely what his bluff range looks like, how good is having an A? Is this just a spot that people never turn up with bluffs?

villain in hand 2 is a below average regular but I don't have much in the way of reads, and I play hudless so no stats and what notes I do have I don't have access to =(.

Regs don't tend to mess about on paired boards, and also know that a lot of players won't fold weak pairs here. I think it's just too thin of a line to make the call, even on the turn. I think I'll call once then give up
