Hand 1: Hawaiian Gardens, typical LAPy table except a mildly LAG player in seat 4. Often, he is just a little too aggressive for the situation and overplays his holdings. Still, he hasn't caught with BS either. Hero is in seat 9, which is the BB with T5o (Oh, joy!)

PF: No raises, 6 players. Flop: T95, two [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s. Hero is first to act and bets out. One call, Villian raises, one call, two folds. Hero 3 bets, one fold, Villian caps, two calls. Villian caps??? I know he wants me. We have tangled to my benefit before. Do I respect the cap? 3 players.

Turn: a blank. I bet out. One call, Villian raises. A set? I go into call down mode.

River: Puts a 3rd heart on the board and it gets checked around. Lord knows why the 3rd player chased us all the way.

Showdown: Villian had 95s. MHIG. Did I back off too soon?

Hand 2: Commerce. Hero is in seat 1 and Villian is in seat 6. He plays almost ATC. If he has top pair, even if it is a 5, he'll bet it. He has been running really "goot", up 6 racks. He hasn't been caught with BS.

Hero has AA UTG+1. Raise, 4 callers including Villian. Flop is K9x, two diamonds. I have the A in [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]'s. I bet out. 1 caller, he raises, 1 fold, 1 call, I 3 bet, fold, Villian caps. Two pairs? Still 4 players. Villian's betting pattern screams 2 pairs and we have other chasers. Call down time. Too soon?

Turn is a blank. Villian bets. 4 callers. River also blanks except for a really weird str8. I am the only player to call the Villian.

I'll make this a two part question. Yes, MHIG, but what is Villian's holding and did I wimp out too soon?
