Check/fold both turns. At 10 NL, villain can really have any pair.

Check is standard for both hands but I would bet/fold on the turn if villain has been calling my cbets frequently.
AimHigher
Check is standard?

Thanks guys.

check is standard on both, but I like to throw in a second barrel bet every once in awhile so my good hands don't become too transparant. Also, as mentioned above, if villain is calling a lot of your cb's light, they will usually fold to a second bet if they aren't strong.

I'm gonna way out here and say bet, bet depending on the turn card and the player.

So many people in games now are adapting to LAG play and constant continuation betting by calling the flop extremely light in position, sometimes out of position even. This same player calling light on the flop is auto folding most turn cards to another bet.

The thing to look at here is the call speed from the flop. If I get called right away I'm almost alway betting the turn. Quick calls almost alway mean a weak hand or a draw. So, unless an obvious draw hits I usually keep firing.

I can't speak for other sites, I play on Ultimatebet, but when I was playing $10 NL I could very easily run over the table by staying aggressive and double barrelling in pots. When I first made the move up to $25 NL I found myself getting run over because I gave up on pots too easily after my continuation bets were called.
