What I'm trying to ask is what should I have done in both cases? In case #1 it's kinda hard to not (SCREAM I HAVE A 4), since the board is sooooooooooooo dry I thought about donk betting (but then I was like if you do that, then they might all fold)...Then I thought about CC all the way down to the river (But then was like well If I call the flop+assuming they bet out on the turn, and I call that, then surely they're going to suspect a 4)? So this left one option (play it so awkwardly), that they might think it's a 3 and I'm bluffing (I really didn't think too much on the turn, and thought by shoving turn, I either have a 4 or nothing shove and I'm trying to steal...

Now what did I have them on actually a small pair <10/maybe A10s (something of that nature)..

Now hand 2 same villain as in hand 1 again I flop trips and this time I chose to donk bet out, but then he RR me (now when that happens, I'm like ok, what's the best option to take), so that's why I need your help in both hands...

What would you do if it was you in those hands?
