First Villian is 22/17 and has a 100% fold to three bet. I just called thinking I would make more money this way than by 3 betting. He has a high flop,turn bet % and an avg. river bet %. Everything hits on river but I have under reped my hand the entire way playing out of postion. I don't think this is a winning call but was wondering if you think a check raise on this river that completes everything would be good since it looks as though i have been drawing the entire way and have a weak hand?

Second Villian is running at 32/24 over about 50 hands. In this blind vs blind im sure that I almost always have the best hand. When he min raaises the turn, i feel that he has either picked up a second pair with small cards or that he has no picked up a flush draw. I elect to call and evaluate the river. I check with the intention of calling because now smaller two pairs have been counterfitted(?) and flush and straights have now missed. I checked and he overbet shoved instantly. I timed down and called. Im just wondering what makes it easier, leading river or what? I see the overbets are usually misses by good players and now seem that they are typically stronger moves for weaker players. Im just looking for the best way to play this hand.

I raise the flop in Hand 1

1) We can get called by worse made hands 88/77/AT
2) We can get called by worse draws
3) We can make hands with equity vs us fold such as AK/AQ/AJ
