Back at 100NL - Tonights tough spots

[XTR1000]

#1
BB and MP2 are unknown, CO is 58/11

On flop I figured I´m either ahead against some dubious sd´s or have at least any non-heart A,2 and 5 as outs most of the time

Hand 1: Shove turn as played, you pretty much committed yourself against shortie on this flop (which you probably over-played.)

Hand 2: So a nitty player checked behind a Kxx flop then min-raised your turn bet. WTF are you putting him on? It looks like you both think you're trapping the other guy and there is only one trap hand you beat.

Also against absurdly nitty opponents you have EVEN MORE cause to re-raise Aces because they will have a hand to give you action more often.

Hand 1:
I think the flop raise is overdone. You have 5s TK + gutshot but there are lots of overpairs you are behind.
On the Turn I like my hand but so does he. I have to be concerned about a 6 here. I pokerstoved it, you are about 60%-40% underdog to his range here. Back off. I’ll check the turn and perhaps call an AI but I want to keep the pot as small as possible from here on.

Hand 2:
Slowplaying AA occasionally works out but I don't think it compensates for how often it gets you into trouble.

Quality; I too often find myself switching to 'trappy' mode against these guys.

trap the over-aggro monkeys not the nitty players whose ranges are always tight enough to stack-off with especially at 100nl where they still probably do not know how to fold.

note to self: must stop producing "tough spots" by myself
