Live 3/5 NL - Two Hands vs. Same Opponent

[PoppaTMan]

Game is the $3/$5 $200 restricted buy-in at Commerce casino on a Wednesday night. Opponent is decent regular, with the same bad tendencies that most Commerce mid-stakes players have: telegraphing hand strength with varying PF raise sizes, not very good at hand reading, overvalues TPTK when deep, etc. But as it goes, he's but running hotter than god all night, and balancing this with some big bluffs.

My image should be solid, maybe closer to weak/tight than actually TAG. Some hands of reference that villain has seen me play prior to the following hands:

Megafish (MF) in Seat 3 limps, another Loose Passive limps in Seat 4, Dealer Berating Douchebag (DBDB) in Seat 5 raises to 15 (this is always 55-99, AT-AQ), Solid player in Seat 6 calls, I 3bet to 65 with JJ, folds to MF who calls, DBDB also calls. Flop ($190) comes 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. MF open shoves for $200, DBDB shows his cards (AQo) to the dealer while I'm still hand, berates him a bit, then folds. I call with only $130 more behind as it was my third hand at the table. MF shows 76o, boats up on the turn and I muck.

Second reference hand, MF open raises to 25, I call on the button with 88, BB calls. Flop ($70) comes 335r. BB checks, MF bets 50, I fold, BB folds. MF shows 66 like it's the nuts, I announce I folded 88 because I felt like looking like a nit, and everyone gasps.

On to the actual hands, in chronological order..

The Razor's Edge

Hero : $410
Villain : covers

Folded to me in MP, Hero opens to $20 with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Villain in BB is the only caller.

Flop ($36) : 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets $25, he C/Rs to $80, Hero calls.
Turn ($195) : 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero checks.
River ($195) : 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero...

The Lack of Misinformation

Hero : $640
Villain : covers

Hero opens to $20 UTG with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6 monkey [censored] callers including Villain on the button.

Flop ($115) : T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Checked to Hero, who insta-checks, then checked to Villain who bets $40. Hero calls, everyone else folds.
Turn ($195) : 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero checks, Villain bets $110 quickly, Hero insta-calls.
River ($415) : 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero checks, Villain bets $255, Hero...


As always, comments on all streets are appreciated.

on the first hand i doubt he has much of anything but you might want to bet like 120 and hope he calls with like A9 or 910. Second hand what do you have/

[_JoeJimJoe]

if your not calling that river bet then fold turn. I think he has a flush here often enough. I would lead turn and see what he does and fold to more action.
