hand 1:Go for a bet/fold — your kicker is decent, but it's not a hand you should call a raise with against a maniac who hit a draw

These hand histories are very difficult to read, but I will do my best.

Hand1 JTo
Preflop
I prefer to go 3x out of position.

Flop
Pretty much a total whiff, and if he dont like to fold, then firing a C-bet is pretty much just lighting money on fire. So my plan would be to check-fold, but he check back.

Turn
When he check back the flop, your second pair is very likely to be the best hand, and I would bet it for value and protection.

River
As played you definitely need to bet for value now. Getting raised sucks, but he is only really representing QT, 99 and J9, and its only 100 to win almost 400. Usually a river raise is very strong action, but not so much, when both the flop and turn got checked, because this mean, both players arrive on the river with a very weak range. So he could be bluffing, and you are pretty near the top of your range after having checked twice. So yeah. I call here as well as played. If you had also bet the turn, I would lean more towards a fold.

Hand2 JTs
Preflop
It seems like, you only started this hand with 12BB. First of all you should never be that short in a cash game, so there is not much point in analysing this hand at all. But if it was a tournament hand, you should either open shove or min-raise fold. JTs is not strong enough to call, what is essentially a 12BB rejam.

Flop
You only have like 3BB left, and this is just a silly situation, which should never happen. Either the chips should all have gone in preflop, or you should have folded to the 3-bet.

Uff this check back turn (first hand) and call pre in the second hand (leaving u 3bb left) is a hard watch even for me who butchers hands on regular basis.

The only weird shit i see is u thinking u can be somehow profitable playing NL50.

This is a form of tilt. We have been watching them lose money with crap and then forget that crappy players get to have hands too. When we forget this, we start to over value our lower value hands like JToff-- To beat this type of player we do not relax our ranges in these types of spots. By increasing our variance, we actually play into their strengths.
