Hand 1:

Villain is 17/16/7.5 over 112 hands. Very little history between the two of us, he has 3-bet me on one occasion and I have probably 3-bet twice in the 30 or 40 hands on this table. I am playing a bit tighter and more passively than usual up to this point running at something like 24/16/2.5 A few orbits before this I 3-bet Q9hh against a half stack and called a CR on a low 2 heart board and drew out against shorties 88.

In this hand Villain opens CO with me on the Button and 2 decently aggro 21/15/2s in the blinds. I flat AA for deception against OR and to induce a squeeze from blinds.

Hand 2:

Same villain from hand 1, several orbits later on same table. Again, not a lot of 3-betting on this table, and have only played a couple very small pots with villain after the big one.

A 30/10/1 open limps the button and villain raises from the SB with me on the BB. I think his range is fairly narrow as I don't think he would be isolating here often with worse than 88+ AJ+. I get a bit FPSy and flat with KK to play a pot with position on villain and because I don't really mind the open limper tagging along.150BBs effective.

Comments on both hands all streets welcome. (Preflop I would play this way about 20% in hand one depending on table conditions, and have only rarely taken the PF line in hand two.)

i raise the flop in hand 1 and i shove the river in hand 2
