$10 NLHE 6-max: River Problems

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 17/11/3

Hello everybody

This is my first Hand( actually two) which i post in this forum. I already checked out the Guidelines and couldn`t find a point against just posting the handconverter link.
I like it this way, cuz i think it`s great to read and understand the hand.

If it`s not ideal in this forum please let me know and I wanna do it the way i want.

Anyhow, my weakest part, in my opinion, are my River plays.
I only got a W$SD% (how often i win when it comes to a showdown) of 46.8%, and i heard it should be close to 55%.
So here are two hands in which i struggeld.

Thanks a lot for your time!

I think you played hand 1 pretty optimally, my only advice would be too leave that table of nits.

2nd hand is also good, you are getting a good price but when are you ever ahead of a 31/3 here. Table is much better then the 1st.

1st hand just fold pre. Another case where 2 pairs on a well connected board gets smashed lol itd never pretty. Our hand doesnt improve much when we hit 2pair id probably fold river unless against a nit or some spew fish

2nd hand id like to 3bet... hes obv opening wider and we are ahead of his range
When we have the initiative its much easier to cbet and take the pot.

When u just flat he still has control. As players its natural to focus about the river play and think making the right call or fold but backup a few streets and you dont need to b put in this spot if im good or not.

Thx a lot for both adviceces!

@iPlay
1 hand
I didn't realiesed that the table dynamic changed that match! So ur defintly right i shouldn't be at this table!

2 hand
I folded that one cuz of the min. Raise, it smells a lot like Flash, or a cold blooded bluff, next time i would just check behind.

@aces2w1n

In my review befor i posted the first hand i came to same answer, should fold it Pre cuz im OOP, on the Button i play this hand most of the time.so
I wasn't aware of my Pos.

Second Hand
Most of the time i 3bet this hand, but i was 3betting a lot at this table thats way i just flat called.


Thx for ur time!
