I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

Two thinnish river raises for your consideration:

Villain is SootedMagic. Seems pretty tag. Has been re-raising me a bit, and I've been folding. He hasn't called out of the blinds much at all yet. I checked the flop mostly because I'm experimenting with lines involving flop checks.

I've been splashing around a bit, and winning a lot of pots without showdown. I haven't had to show down a bluff in a big pot, yet.

$300 to call

Villain is mostly unknown. I've been playing pretty agro and running over a lot of players. Villain seems like a TAG fish. Haven't seen him do anything notable.

This seems pretty standard with AK, but I wonder if it's too thin with AQ?

I just smooth called PF because I figure to end up HU in position, at this table, and there are a lot of fun lines that involve CCing here.

I don't like h1 without any kind of loose image going on, h2 looks good.

Re: I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

dont like 1 very much, I'd put him on a completed or busted draw more than a semi-made hand like Ax.

2 is fine

Seems pretty tag

....I would pretty much never push here for value unless hes loose/bad or theres history.

Re: I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

both are pretty bad

hand 1 he has a busted draw/bluff or a hand that beats you he doesnt have Axs very often here and if he does its with the intention of bet/folding

if you are going to raise then just minraise, shoving is terrible

hand 2 is almost as bad he either has nothing AJAQAK or some FPS played 7 or TT, he isnt bet calling with a weak ace

he has no reason to valuebet a weak ace because you simply arent calling with anything worse

Re: I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

What do you expect him to call in the first hand that you beat?? ? ? ? ?

Re: I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

what everyone else said: hand 2 &gt;&gt;&gt; hand 1

Re: I think I smell Value: Two Hands
 

HAND 1 HE MIGHT HAVE A STRAIGHT

HAND 2 IS GOOT

Maybe too optimistic, but my feeling at the time was that he had a weak A a ton of the time, and might convince himself to call.

AQ and AK would be really easy shoves, right?

Would you like a raise there if it was smaller? It's only a pot sized raise.
