So it's my first hand at the table and I've never seen villain before, I'm raising the river couse I figure he's gonna lead into me with 6, A or some shit like TT or whatever. 100bb stack & nutflush so what is this, easy call or easy fold?

Good spot to raise to 10-15 preflop. You can either cbet this board pretty large. There's some argument for checking since the board is so dry. I don't know if there is a flush draw or not. But I'd be more inclined to check this board if I was in position. As played I think you can fold to the reraise. People just aren't that aggressive without the nuts (8x).

Hand 2, once again just open. K9dd can make both a straight and a flush so I think you can go ahead and raise it to 5-6 dollars. Flop is fine. Turn is fine. River I think you have to call esp without reads. There's too much of a chance that villain jams with worse (a lower flush, a 6x).

Hand 1 -> fold
Hand 2 -> easy call

i guess this is in london?

h1 preflop is up to the positions and villains. I went from being a 'aggro young online reg' autoraising, to understanding limping ranges from some players aren't that wide, so checking is sometimes the best play. important to know the difference vs just having a 'standard'.
rest is std.

I can't fault a call with your info, but i not that happy about it.
Big mistakes you should be way way more worried about:
-limping here preflop
-as played not betting turn.

work on that stuff. the river stuff will eventually give you fewer problems as you learn to play each street consistently and handread better.

i fold both. i dont limp k9s in co and i don't complete bb w/ KQo ever though.

Why the hell would I bet the turn there? I'm drawing and it's likely I'm gonna get check/raised

Anyways I called h1 and he showed trips with an 8
h2 I folded and he showed A6 for boat
