Default Two bluff lines (NL200)

In this hand the villain is crackleback. He's not exactly good, but he plays back more than most bad players without being a complete fish. He's definitely spewy though, but can lay down marginal hands. He seems to love to float. I only have 400 hands on him, but I have him at 33.4/9.8/1.54 with a fold to cbet of only 58%. Is this better than firing like $42 on the turn? Is c/f just the best play here all the time?

This is vs. a complete unknown. I'll take my chances playing this in position vs. an unknown who opens for 3x in MP3 although I'm sure some of you will hate preflop. I call the flop because I likely have the best hand and there is no sense of raising since he won't call with anything I beat. On the turn I figure him for at least the same hand as me, but probably an overpair. I figure that I can rep a set since I wouldn't raise it on this dry of a flop very often. The small raise is intended to get called. I did this because it reps a big hand while enticing him to call on the turn. It also gets me more money when it works than just straight shoving the turn or raising to like $120 and having him be committed. It also sets up a shove for about 90% pot on the river which will look really strong. I planned on shoving all rivers pretty much (maybe not K or Q). Thoughts? Is it better to just call turn and then fold river UI or check behind? Should I just fold the turn?

I don't like hand 1 cause I don't know what you're trying to rep here. With what legitimate hand would you take such a line here? I'd think bet flop, c/r is not a line you take too often, right? Plus I think 77 or KQ might be in his range and I'm not sure if he can lay down those...

2nd looks ok for me, though I'm not sure it's a bluff, he could easily have AQ AK stuff. I would ve raised on the flop though...

Hand 2 - I think you're giving an 'unknown' player too much credit for being able to think and lay down an overpair

Hand 1 - I like this against the described player

So, I thought I was turning hand 2 into a bluff because I doubted that he would double barrel worse, but I guess I'm retarded. So lets change hand 2. Do I vbet the river now or check behind?

I guess I'm a pussy and check behind. Though I doubt it he could have like QQ and just got scared by your call, c/r line but still willing to call you down. But this could very well be a leak...

When he calls the turn raise, I don't think TPTK is a vb'able hand.

1: I would take this line if he seems to really be getting out of line. Looks good, sucks if he calls with a draw though and bets the river when he misses, cause I can't see anything but c/f from here, and a check after turn c/r is begging for him to bet.

2. Is this really a vbet situation? I would think we are bluffing usually if he calls the turn raise. Doesn't seem like you have that much showdown value, but I could be wrong.
In any case I think it is a situation where we should definitely fire hard
