    Villain is 66/34/6 after 27 hands, hes getting involved in almost every hand. I meant to raise to $5 but actually raised the blind by $5 to $6. The average raise was around $4-$5, maybe this raised suspisions of a high pocket pair that didnt want a flop?

    Anyway villain was betting/calling most flops. Opinions Please?

    2nd hand.

    Villain is 44/3/0.78 after 37 hands

    Artic Moss made hes usual raise in EP which could be any range of hands, should i call here with 67s OOP against this type of player when im in the small blind. Felt i had to call the BB re-raise, i was getting 4/1, i felt the re-raise wasnt great strength as everyone at the table knew Artic was raising regularly and i had been playing tight up to this so they would have found it hard to put me on this hand. Is this ok?

    Did the river look like a steal after i checked the previous 2 streets, the river re-raise looked like my oponent wanted me to call, i felt i was beat here, should i have folded here or were my odds good enough to call.

    Isn't the flop on hand 1 one of those situations where you only get called by better hands? Am I starting to get this?

    The problem with this opponent was regardless of his holding he was very likely to call my raise and if i didnt raise he was very likely to raise me. I had noticed this and raised him to 4x 2 hands previous with AK preflop, i checked the flop he bet 1/2 pot i re-raised and he folded on a 9 high board.

    I didnt want to overuse the check/raise again so soon but that would have giving me a better idea where i stood. He was also more likely to call a flop bet but fold on the turn if he didnt hit.

    I didnt see many showdowns because i wasnt at the table long but he was calling and raising alot on the flop but then folding/checking the turn if he didnt get the pot on the flop which made me think he was constantly trying to steal. If he was still there by the river he has something as hes W$AS was nearly 50% but hes went to showdown was only 13% considering he seen the turn card so often. I found him tricky to play against because it was hard to know where you are on the flop although if you do hit a hand on the flop, you know your going to get money out of him even if he dosent hit so i guess the best thing is get into raised pots with him when im in position and i should be ok and stay out of any pots when im OOP

    First hand, I just check behind the turn, that is the single worst card that could have hit, if he had 9 he gets trips, if he was flushing he has hit, if he had Ace he had already hit. Yeah he may have nothing but if he does then he is unlikely to hit river and you get all the extra money when he bluffs which will be a lot.

    Hand 2, I prefer to raise it or to fold it, calling it is just meh. Your oop against guy who bets everything, not good. I wouldn't a call re-raise either, 5-1 is nowhere near enough to play this hand oop against this guy

    check the flop, bet the turn, check the river

    #2 fold preflop, check the river
