working on tough folds 3/6 & 5/10

[jt1]

1. Villain is LAG after just 30 hands (50/22/1.5). He is 0/7 in turn check raises and the one time he raised the turn, he won the SD. I may have been searching too hard to find a fold here. Had he played it more straight forward, I'd have called down, but the two check-raises either backfired or bought off this weak/tight player. One thing for sure I should have at least called the turn, A6 & A2 is just as likely as A9, a set, or 69. I'm very disapointed that I didn't at least call the turn.

2. I'm more confortable with this fold but it's been on my mind for about a week so I thought I'd include it here. Villain is a classic TAG: I've never seen him get out of line.
