Grouping these 2 together as they are somewhat similar. Both involve checking back with a mid TP kind of hand as I don t want to face a c/r with either and I give up on these kinds of boards a lot in these positions so I like its good to have hands that can stand some heat and get to showdown.

1: Villain is running 26/20 and passive with his 3 bets preflop. Postflop he c bets both flop and turn at an above average frequency but my sample is very restricted so its obv unclear.

Do you call down?

2: I think this check is likely a mistake. He s playing 23/12 so I should just go for value as he can def have a lot to call with and I m much less weary of a c/r and feel less need to balance ranges vs him. As for his bet sizing here I ve seen him do this kind of sizing before and I think the time it was shown down it was value. I m assuming given he s not that aggressive and the way the board ran out he s value heavy here as well.

Thoughts?
