OK these hands happened just about back to back. I guess looking back now the first hand was an easy fold, but I had a hard time putting him on that hand. I only played 9 hands with the villian, so I didn't have any reads/stats.

For the second hand, I'm looking for feedback on what my play should have been on the flop. I guess I bet a little much, but I didn't want to get stuck in a 3-way pot.

Ya it depends. Its just good to get in a habit of betting larger especially at 2nl because they will call you down so lightly

Ok thanks, a bigger flop bet makes sense.
