<font color="blue"> Same villain in both of the above hands - first posted hand was the first hand we played vs each other. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. second posted hand is just after the first hand I call down purely for info - I have NO reads on this guy and he kept it cheap - my hand had some SD value so I called expecting him to have a weak ace or Q better kicker hand and I wanted the information. 3rd Hand is a little later ~30ish hands into the session.</font>

<font color="red">Hero bets $???</font>

only other reads I have is that he is a bit cagey - but does tend to call too much and overvalues his one/two pair hands - he takes his sweet time with every decision.

Comments on play in hand 3 so far please - and as played given that I think a push will scare him into folding - how big can I VB here? - is this an obvious push anyway as I have less than a PSB??
