Villain is 29/18/3, I have been 3-betting him moderately pre-flop without showing down (I have had the goods) but have maybe shown down marginal hands vs other players. Haven't been given reason to have a lot of respect for his play.

Villain is 22/11/2.5 and strikes me as a kinda pretentious player who thinks he knows what he's doing and why but is actually pretty clueless.

Villain is 23/11/2.5 and I was really having trouble thinking of the optimal River line, but comments on all streets appreciated.

Re: LINE-CHECKS ROUND 2
 

Hand 1: Seems like the toughest, but I think you have to call after the flop checked through and he checked to you on the turn. Seems like he would lead the turn with almost all hands you are behind. Don't mind the flop check to much, but betting seems better for value/protection. Especially if you are c-betting missed hands in 3-bet pots

Hand 2: Good

Hand 3: Bet like 2/3 pot on river so he can call with a lower heart. If he has the K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or house its obviously going in, so why not give him a chance to call with a weak hand or bluff at it. Edit: Raise more preflop. I agree with Jojje about the turn too, although I much prefer a lead.

Re: LINE-CHECKS ROUND 2
 

Only me that just bet the turn in hand 3?

And if I check I go for a c/r

Re: LINE-CHECKS ROUND 2
 

hand 1, i see no reason to check the flop unless you think his range mainly consists of underpairs. you'll get called by AJ and sometimes AK here if you bet flop.

rest seems fine

Hand 1: I don't think I'm getting value out of anything I beat or folding out anything that beats me and I was looking to maximise value out of his range which I felt consisted largely of underpairs and AK
