These are probably pretty simple problems, but it's something I told myself I wanted discuss to make sure I'm not making massive mistakes.

Both live 50/1 spots, so we can assume average villain is calling with a pretty wide range pre, like 35% (I've included some hands that probably should 3bet but just opt to "see a flop" like AJs, AQo, a bunch of suited connectors etc.) and probably calling a lot of flops to hit the turn with "pretty hands" that don't want to fold (bottom pairs, gutshots, one overcard, etc). Can't remember precise stack sizes, but let's assume villain has no less than 150BB~ and we cover.

I just came across these two spots and really wasn't sure if we should be c-betting turn.

Hand #1

Two calls and two folds to us in the hijack, we make it £6 with . Cutoff calls, one limper calls, all else fold.

Flop (£20.50)

Check, we bet £13, cutoff calls, limp-caller folds.

Turn (£46.50)

Is this a good turn to barrel?


Hand #2

UTG+2 limps, we raise to £5 in MP with , hijack calls, all others fold.

Flop (£12.50)

We bet £8, call.

Turn (£28.50)

Again, it's a spot where the card seemingly improves our hand, but I'm not sure how much credit I should be giving villain. If he's never folding an ace, should we still build a pot and shut it down when we brick, or is it better to save some of our oop pennies?

Again, I apologise if these are dead simple spots, just feels like it's a bit of a leak in my game.

EDIT: Flop in first hand was incorrect. Rectified.

Definitely betting the first one. Second one I kinda like a c/r but bet again is obv fine too.

On these sorts of draw heavy boards in a regular .50/1 live cash game you're against really capped ranges because not many randoms flat 2pr+ on these boards.

yhh 100% bet hand 1.

hand 2, meh not sure betting seems fine and checking seems fine, I think i might go for just barreling again as your equity should be good and weak Ax's might fold.
