Ya without reads it would be tough to call either one of these.

JJ... the first hand... I may have called the raise... There's just TOO many people at the .50NL games at Party that would bet the 6 there... I see it all day long... I'd call, you have position, and see what he does on the turn...

Hand 2.. what are you putting him on that you want to fold...? AQ or Q9 makes a straight, but would he call the flop raise w/ a gutshot...? He didn't raise PF, so he's probably not on KK or JJ... Since 2 or each of the 8s and 10s are out, he probably doesn't have trips... Not sure what the right move it... it just seems kinda weak/tight to fold there.

MVP: Did you notice in the first hand that he didn't just "bet" the flop, he check-raised a significant amount after a pot-sized bet and a call in front of him. The second hand, I guess in the end I'm putting him on either KJ or KT, it may be worth noting that this guy was rockish, not overly, but still, not to mention he was in the BB, getting in for free is the part that really scares me, but on the other hand I don't want to be that weak-tight guy but I can't imagine I'm ahead too often here, and definately don't think I can call a follow-up all in regardless.
