Villain here is unknown, because this is my first hand.

Hand 1:
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, Villain raises, 3 folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, Villain bets, Hero folds, UTG folds.

Final Pot: 3.75 BB

That's odd, I usually c/r this flop and b/f turn UI...not sure what happened here...but is the c/r b/f standard?

An orbit and a bit later, I know a little bit about villain. He plays almost every hand. He limped, and called down with 58o that flopped bottom pair, but has also busted someone CBing after he coldcalled with A8o. He has taken the lead in a few hands, and won them without SD.

Hand 2:

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises, Villain calls.

Flop: (4 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (4 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain checks.

River: (4 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 5 BB

My HUD stats pop up. They vary little over the session. By the end he is 88/31/1.2. My notes:

limped T4s UTG, bF with bottom pair, cTR
cc pfr with A5o Q45s bd
c/c c/c b with MP rivered 2p
pfr BB cF bTR on double paired bd
capped flop with K7o against pfr on AKx

Hand 1 - Fine . . . I'd probably lead this flop and not check raise though . . . proceed from there

Hand 2 - Muck

Hand 3 - Muck? Not really sure about this one, I guess if we raise he'll check to us, but then again he's so maniacal that he might 3 bet us, then what?

Hand 4 - Calldown I think.

Hand 5 - Any read? Call . . . HU fold.

Hmm. I guess hand #1 is ok.

Ditto hand #2, although HLL boards are the ones where you get screwwed by thinking players.

Hand 3 is perfect, other than maybe wait for the button vs tightish opponents before raising that shizzle. But it's probably not too bad from the CO (just don't do it often).

I'm almost definitely showing down #4. This could be a leak... but I don't think so.

Hand 5 is tough... I think folding is good, especially due ot the third player.

Hand 1,2,3 fine.

Hand 4 easy turn call. You have an overpair, gutshot draw, flush draw.

Hand 5 call down getting 8:25:1 with one over card and a gutshot. HU I'd fold because I couldn't count on the implied odds being as high.

Hand 1 - I like the flop check, but I'm not sure what to do after vs. an unknown pfr and a player still to act. I'd probably find a way to spew some chips here. c/r flop, b/f turn would be my line. I'm not willing to give an unknown villain total credit for a hand yet.
Hand 2 - I like.
Hand 3 - I don't raise A6o from CO. For me, Ax either wins a tiny pot or loses 2-3 BB, and I don't like that.
Hand 4 - I call the turn, and probably call one more bet on the river.
Hand 5 - I call the turn and fold the river UI. Against this villain, capable of 3betting K5s pf, I'd take the same line HU (assuming pot is the same size).

I'm a showdown monkey.
