Default 2 100/200 hands from Bellagio on Sunday

I played the 30/60 on fri and sat and found it as loose / passive as the 20/40 I'm used to back home. Did well and decided to take a shot at 1/2

Hand 1: Just moved to a main game. CO seems a little laggy, but I've only been able to observe a few hands where he was playing 4-5 handed as I waited for the button to pass me. CO opens 7 handed and I 3-bet A8s on button. Loose fishy BB calls, CO calls.

Flop K84r. BB checks, CO bets, I raise, BB folds, CO calls.

As dealer turns a Q completing rainbow, CO bets in tempo. I...?

Hand 2: I raise UTG+1 8-handed with AcTc. UTG+2, a decent TAG, who I have been friendly with because I play with him at my home casino and happen to run into him out here coldcalls while saying " I think I wouldve 3-bet you if you hadn't been playing so tight." Fish calls in LP, blinds fold.

Flop 779r. I lead, UTG+2 calls, LP folds.

Turn 9 completing rainbow. My plan for rest of hand?

I've never played this high (and I suck at the limits I do play) so take this for what it's worth...

Hand 1: I think you can raise/fold the turn and try to take a free showdown. His turn bet seems to me like a medium strength hand that doesn't want to give any free cards, and there's an outside chance that you could get him to lay down a better hand like 99 or TT.

Hand 2: I think I'd check-call down and expect to split with another A. His comment and flop call make me think he's either got something like AQ, or a smallish PP that you may have counterfitted.

I'd fold Hand 1. KQ are the worst cards in the deck for you. His double donk smells fishy but I would not be surprised if he has KQ for bet/3bet on the turn.

Hand 2 I don't like getting bluffed off the best hand, or a possible chop, so I'd call down.

Hand 1: I hate every street.

Hand 2: I go into check and call mode in case they got counterfieted, plus they are never calling with a worse hand.

This is actually pretty genius. I would just c/c down but I think this could be the ultimate spot to rape someone with table talk.

Hand 1 fold turn. I didn't even play the hand and his double donk is making me angry which probably speaks to how good donking can be.

this is actually a very standard "speech" spot for me here as at least around here when someone makes a speech it almost always means big hand or vulnerable made hand (which doesn't really apply to hero's hand on the turn in hand 2) and I get people to fold best hands a lot because of it.

Yep. Hand 1 I call turn and any non Jack or Ten river.

Aves I feel like I must have played a lot with you but not sure who you are. Did we play 30/60 one night, 100/200 the next, you a mid 30s guy who always wore a red fleece and you gave me spring rolls? Worth a shot..
