hand 1 is from a $350 buyin at the venetian for their deepstack series. not huge fields (usually ~200 entries (reentry allowed)). not a lot of tough players.

hand 2 is from a $1100 buyin caesar's main event for their caesar's classic series. $250k gtd w/ 187 entries on day1a (reentry allowed for both 1a and 1b). again not a lot of tough players, a mix of a few regs here and there and mostly weaker live players.

1. blinds are 75-150. utg/utg+1 (yeah i don't take notes live like i should so some details are a bit faded from memory) opens for 375. i flat 2 behind him with KTdd. utg has about 12-13k to start, roughly a starting stack. at least one player flats behind me, and i believe both blinds call. around ~1875 in the pot. flop is Qd 7d 2x. checks to me, there's at LEAST one player behind, possibly two. i check the flop. everyone behind checks.

turn is the Tc. the SB leads 1k. he so far has played semi-loose pre but exceedingly straight forward postflop. not much else i can remember. he has about 8k behind. the other blind folds (if he was in the hand haha) and the original raiser quickly makes it 2k. the original raiser is some sort of european (maybe some sorta russian or something with one of them easier to understand accents? i'm terrible). he plays kinda loose pre and prob opens a little wider here than most middle aged guys. i feel like he's fully capable of doing this with some marginal showdown value, mostly to see a cheap showdown vs the SB. he wants the SB to call so he can check back the river and showdown something like JJ, AT or similar. i doubt he's doing this with pairs smaller than Tx and prob never semi-bluffing. i have about 14-15k to start hand, what do you guys do here?

2. i'm going to make this one of those street by street hands. i used to hate them when reading hand histories in online forums (sue me) but sometimes they are helpful and make for more interesting discussion. for discussions sake though i'll fastforward from flop to turn because the flop i feel like is pretty standard this deep, although with more history and more in the pot i could see check raising with bottom set for sure on this dry of a flop. but i have no image at this point and have never played a real pot vs this player.

blinds are 100-200. we all started with 40k in chips, and both players in the pot preflop are at around starting stack. i think i have just below 40k. utg or utg+1 open limps. she's a middle-aged asian lady who is a reg around town and plays extremely bad. very easy to read and abuse post flop and rarely reads hands well. the utg+1 or utg+2 player is a younger, backwards had wearing kid i've seen around town a lot. prob no older than 23. he's really aggressive and likes to iso raise here a lot. he makes it like 650 i believe. folds to me in the SB and i call with 22. the BB and limper fold. heads up it comes 923r. i check the flop, and the iso-raiser bets 850. i flat again. there's 3500 or so in the pot now.

a quick hand history of this kid. the only one i can remember him playing. this was another venetian event, not sure buyin but either $350 or $560. i don't recall the preflop/flop action because the hand ended up taking 12 minutes, and i quit paying attention early in the hand out of annoyance that these two kids were taking for fucking ever every decision every hand.

but the flop was KTx, rainbow, and the turn was a brick. the preflop raiser checked, and this kid made a medium-ish bet that looked like value, albeit possibly thin (just instinct i had based on the size of the bet and the type of players). the preflop raiser made a decent, 2.8x-ish sized raise. the kid tanked, took another 2 minutes and called. the river was another brick. again, the preflop raiser and turn checkrasier checked, and the kid made another value bet sized bet. both players were already super deep so stack depth isn't super important but both probably had at least 5-6 pot bets left probably more than that. again, the preflop raiser check raised yet again on the river. the kid tanked yet again for probably 2 minutes before someone called the clock, and he finally tossed in the chips to call about halfway through his clock. the preflop raiser revealed like Q6 for total air, and this kid had ATs for second pair.

so i feel like this kid is usually going to go for all streets with his best overpairs and whatever else he can connect with on the turn with his overcard hands. i'm sure he's capable of making hero calls in tough spots and i'm fairly certain he's stubborn vs other young players he perceives to be competent and creative.

back to the hand in question, the 923 rainbow board. i flat call the flop bet, and the turn rolls off Kh. now there are two hearts on board. i check yet again, and the preflop raiser bets 1600 or so. now, what do i do?
