    Default 2 Interesting River Spots vs Same Villain

    I almost timed out on the river in hand 1 deciding whether to value-bet or not.

    What do you do on the river in hand 2 based on the action in hand 1 (i.e. villain’s passive play OOP)? The paradox is villain coming out and firing OOP in hand 2 vs his check-calling a strong hand in hand 1. Does this mean I put him on a weaker or a stronger hand? Does it tell me he likes his hand MORE or LESS? I felt a huge donkish urge to minraise the river in hand 2 FWIW.

    Hand 1 :

    Seat 4 is the button
    Total number of players : 6
    Seat 4: Ricochet177 ( $242.75 )
    Seat 5: Bagadu ( $624.90 )
    Seat 3: HERO ( $370.65 )
    Seat 1: oOkayplayer ( $237.85 )
    Seat 2: Pavel55 ( $233 )
    Seat 6: Comaz5 ( $176.55 )
    Bagadu posts small blind [$1].
    Comaz5 posts big blind [$2].

    Hand #1, I think you need to check behind here. You only beat AJ, AK. AT & AQ just made their hand and a slow played flush might be milking you. You built a nice pot, but I think I check behind. Caveat: I am a results Nit sometimes. Wish I didn't see them.

    Hand #2, Again I'm wimpy, but I just call the river. Their are a lot of connected cards that provide 2 pair opportunities. This could also be a set wanting to get value from a Qx . It also looks like a missed draw. Is villain capable of firing 3 barrels.
    I think a river min-raise is the sexy, but I don't have the balls.
    Of course I don't know his stats or playing tendencies. Is he TAG, sLAG, TP, SLP, LAG. I'm trying to figure a starting range for Hand #2. SC's? Unsuited Conns? Suited junk?
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    why are u posting results in hand 1?
    Hand 1: I probably check behind, i just dont know whats calling that ur beating besides A4, and that probably doesn't.
    Hand 2: I don't see myself folding to a bet that weak. I'm probably not raising.
