Betting $20 into a $17 pot is usually a sign the player has a hand like top pair, and doesn't want any action/betting out the draws.
If you re-raise to 55 or so, you'll be calling $40 to win $160, or 4:1 on your money to call, and even with him having 2 pair, you're going to win the hand 30% of the time (5 outs on the turn and 8 outs on the river) So even if he accidently flipped over his K2, you'd still call. This is an even money situation if he has 2 pair, and extremely +EV equal to the odds that he'd do it with top pair or a draw.

Hand 1: I got confused by my opponent's play and stupidly checked it down. Villain tabled
![[Qd]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qd.gif "The Queen of Diamonds")
[Jd] and MHIG. I was furious with myself afterwards for not either value betting $50 (as Iceman suggested), or even tasking a risk and representing a missed ![[Ah]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif "The Ace of Hearts")
[Kh] with an $110 bet. After I checked the turn there was little chance he was checking a monster on the river, so not betting the river was very poor play.I can't quite decide whether betting the turn (knocking out any draws) is preferable to checking the turn and betting the river (increasing the chance I'm called by weaker players).
Hand 2: I felt very strongly he had 2 pair during the hand, but decided to call down villain anyway (thinking that a raise would knock out all the hands that were beating me, but of course the table is draw heavy, so the call's a mistake). He moved in on some blank turn, I called, and he tabled

[2h] and doubled through.I hadn't paid much attention to the guy before this hand, but he turned out to be a loose passive fish (according to PT) - knowing this, I think a fold would have been correct. There's few things more irritating than not going with your read and finding your read was right!

Hand #2...Raising the flop seems optimal...you should make him pay for chasing whatever he is chasing but if he reraises all in here, you will probably have to fold assuming a set or two pair. If he calls the raise I bet out on the turn if a blank hits. Also, I raise preflop more because you had alot of people call your raise here preflop...maybe bump it up a buck more against a similar table where preflop calls to raises are common.

Hand 2....Raise the flop. If he calls..check behind at the turn and determine the river play from there.

Hand 1: Party $200NL. I don't have a strong image on this table, simply because I kept walking into slowplayed aces. Villain in this hand hasn't been there long, and played one hand where he stacked someone with KK vs QQ, via a cunningly weak bet that induced a check-raise all in - so I have him down as possibly a bit tricky. I have $209 and villain has $412.
Villain limps from utg+1. I raise with

. Villain checks.What range of hands do you put villain on, and what do you do on the river (eg check it down, bet 1/2 pot, full pot, overbet the port)?
I'm interested in any other comments on flop and turn (fold/reraise flop, bet turn).
Hand 2: Party $100NL (6 max). For reference, I have VPIP about 40% and PFR about 20% ... it's fair to say I have an aggressive image. Villain has not played many hands yet. He has $95 and I have him covered with $210. I have
