Re: Late game strategy? When to/not to take the flip?
I think you're forgetting something and focusing on the fact that you were in a flip situation both times.
In hand 1: you say yourself that he makes a lot of loose calls. Then, granted, he'll call you with QJ and coinflip hands that you wouldn't mind him folding, but he'll also call you with 22-88 and A2-A9 - hands that you really want to be all-in against in a situation like this.
And in the second hand, what is your rationale for a fold in this spot? You are RARELY an underdog here, unless he has AA-QQ (it's very very unlikely he has a set here). I just think folding as a slight favorite (when you could be a strong favorite and are rarely an underdog) is not a smart play.
