50NL: 2 hands versus 60/10

[Daniel LeClaire]

The villain in both of these hands is the same. He is playing 60/10. He loves to float. If you check to him on the turn he pots it every time.

Would appreciate feedback on how I played these and how I might play them better. Thanks!

Pre-Flop: A Q dealt to Hero (SB)
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.50</font>, BB calls $1
<font color="blue">Standard</font>

Flop: ($3) 7 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $2</font>, BB calls $2
<font color="blue">Likely have the best hand</font>

Turn: ($7) T (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $4.50</font>, BB calls $4.50
<font color="blue">Again, I still likely have the best hand. If I check he's going to pot it so I decide to double barrel</font>

River: ($16) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BB bets $10.50</font>, Hero calls $10.50
<font color="blue">Now I am very likely to have the best hand. He has a little over the size of the pot left. I thought about shoving but decided I'd give him a chance to bluff. His bet is suspicious. I would have preferred to see him shove all in. I call.</font>

BB: $15.65
UTG: $58.40
Hero (CO): $50
BTN: $42.35
SB: $35.35

Pre-Flop: A K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (CO)
UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $6</font>, 2 folds, Hero calls $4.25
<font color="blue">I haven't seen him 3 bet yet. He doesn't raise a lot of hands to begin with. I have been active though. I thought about shoving. Thought about folding. I decided to call since he's not great.</font>

Flop: ($12.75) J K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BTN checks
<font color="blue">Not sure why he checks.</font>

Turn: ($12.75) 7 (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $8</font>, BTN calls $8
<font color="blue">Now I have TP + FD so I bet. Seems pretty standard. Villain just calls.</font>

River: ($28.75) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $12</font>, BTN calls $12
<font color="blue">Betting here seems thin, but if ever there was a villain to bet thin against it's a 60/10. I made a smaller than usual bet because I felt he was weak with the way he had played it.</font>
