two non-nut boats v same villain (all comments goot)

[Ness]

Villain in this hand is bad. He can't fold, loves to limp call PF OOP--the usual super fishy stuff.

This is hand number two against the same villain. This literally happened one or two hands later.

Comments on any part of the hands are always appreciated.

Hand 1 - bet the turn. He might have a draw and be willing to call some on the turn, but not the river if he misses. Raising the flop is optional.

Hand 2 - bet a little more on the flop. I play it like you do sometimes to mix it up, but I'll also just play it fast, betting each street. Depends on the table texture and how you've been playing each other recently.

Hand 1:
Raise the flop. Bet the turn. A fishy player calls with Q and possibly with a draw also.

A fishy player also calls or raises on the flop with AA or KK. Q on the turn kills the action... and A on the river beats you. Did he have AA?? LOL

Hand 2:
Raise the turn.

When you have a monster and it's reasonable to expect that your opponent has a "monster" also, shovel the chips in the pot as fast as you can.

Why do you slow down when you hit a lock hand? I don't understand.
