2 hands...what would you do?

[.KeviN.]

!st hand

Been at the table for about 15 mins. All I know is that villian is very LAGG with stats around 40/30/2. I have a little over the $50 buy in, he has me covered.

Possibly easy fold, but he's been bullying around the table and I've been really agg when in a hand, so when he sees my standard pot flop bet then a weak turn bet I thought he might be putting me to the test. Bad logic. After rebuying and watching the table I noticed he almost always pushes on the river with the nuts no matter the pot size (wish I knew this before the hand)


2nd hand
Villian is pretty tight/passive, but I've seen him try to steal recently. I should have been cautious about his min raise thou.

I groaned when I saw this flop.

- how would you guys have played both hands? -

[Praetor]

Hand 1 without your read he shoves river with nuts is fine
Hand 2 I think you should let go preflop

[DanJ.]

1st one - play it the same

2nd one - probably just shove it preflop coz of his stack size. - edit didnt realize this was $50nl, ye fold i fold preflop.

[bottomset]

hand1: bet more on turn

hand2: if he's loosepassive fold preflop, or at least fold the flop

[joe234321]

hand 1 you should bet more on turn. As played, fold is ok
hand 2 It is safe to say fold PF. So many SSNL donks minraise AA or KK on the button. Sometimes they even min 4-bet. I assume it went to the showdown and he showed AA or KK. Make a not on him, give him a green button, and move on.

sorry...don't know why the converter didn't show villian's hand on #2... he had KK.

Looking back on it it looks horrible on my side. I think at the time the nonsense that was going thru my head was..
#1 Preflop I've been reraising the LAGG player to my right alot so I might not appear too strong to him.
#2 I was anxious to hit the flop and stack his AA or KK. Before the flop I knew I had to be careful but I guess I forgot it in the heat of the moment.

The more I look back at this hand the more I'm disgusted.
