Ok, here's a couple hands I played strange vs same opp

I saw someone wanted some more strategy hands posted in here, so here's a couple I played pretty strange. What do you think?

Villain is a tough regular, cool guy and we chat a lot but he plays a hard aggressive game. I call his re-raises quite often with small PPs and other stuff so I also sometimes call with these hands insetad of 3bet preflop.

How about these funky lines?

I don't play these limits but I think you played both of these very very very well. You successfully masked the strength of your hand in both cases. I like the river call in hand 1 in particular. There's no point raising because no hand that you beat would call a raise.

Nice hands.

Hand 1; You seem beat, but I guess it's fine. I don't see a reason for Villain's flop bet btw.

Hand 2; Standard. You can play it a bit different for metagame reasons, to set up bluff lines etc.

1st hand - If he had QQ would he not continue betting on the turn instead of trying a c/r?

i like hand 2 a lot, i'm not as sure on hand 1 but I can't really see anything i'd change.

who is villian in hand 1?

next time please post stack sizes
1st hand- I like it
2nd hand- standard slowplay
I don't see what's all that strange about how you played these hands

Oh yea, I did forget to post stack sizes, I believe they were all around 100-150 bbs. I thought the first one was different because the opponent found it strange when I called him down all the way without ever raising. Second one was different because I don't usually slowplay big pairs that hard. Opponent was facial_hair in both hands.
