Default Hand 2 of 2 vs. same guy

Hi,

Read the 1st hand, please, but to recap, Villain is 24/24 and has been reraising me pre a lot very recently, and has moved me every time so far.

In this hand, I have 2300 and he covers. Somebody loose and stupid opens pot, Villain repops to 115 on the button, I cold-call in the BB with QJs, opener folds.

Flop ($280): KQJ two-tone (I have no flush draw at all). Check, bet 200, I call.

Turn ($685): Offsuit rag. Check, bet 485, I call.

River ($1655): Q! I shove ~1600.

I'm not real happy with this line. Thoughts?

I would definitely check the flop in hand 1. I wouldn't beat yourself up about the fold, there are a million plausible ways he can have you croaked. I disagree that he would have 4-bet w/ AA, QQ.

I this hand #2 is a realllllly easy fold preflop. Postflop is fine, I guess, but I'm really at a loss as to why you would force yourself to play this hand so deep against a guy who has been shoving you around non-stop.

Fold preflop.
River I check/raise. If this guy's as bluff-happy as you say he is, and you haven't represented any strength throughout the hand, give him some rope.

yikes, I hate everything about it bro....I hate the preflop call - fold or reraise him (doesn't have to be a huge rr).......I hate postflop - get your money in before the river, or check the river.....

C/R river... a check here screams of something weak, he may value bet a hand you can beat, or he may bluff obviously, but your hand looks too transparent and I think it really lets him fold a lot of big hands here that he would bet.

as weak as hand 1 looks, hand 2 looks like a clear river checkraise

Im bombing turn, preflop i think a raise to 400 is better than calling. Folding pre might be the best option, but god knows i aint doing it.
