As I am currently struggling in letting hands go I will post here a couple of hands, where I had trouble deciding what the right thing to do was:
Hand #1
Villain is unknown, apparently loose passive. On the flop I bet for value, protection and to make draws pay for drawing. MAybe I should have bet bigger?
Turn I face a check raise, however not very large. Pot odds are 3:1,having 10 outs for a FH makes this a call
River villain leads, I guess this is a clear fold?

CO and BB where fighting their own fight, building big pots sometimes with marginal hands.
Here I flop top 2P, but I am facing a big raise. Vs two maniacs, butstill how often are my 2P good here?

Flop set on wet board. Facing a check raise which is quite smallish, therefore calling is ok I thought. Looking back, I wonder if reraising would not have been better here.
