    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default 200NL; a couple of 180BB+ deep AA hands

    Hand 1:
    Villain has previously been seen limping KK UTG+1. He then played a small pot with it on a possible straightdraw flop, hitting top set on the turn, checking it down all the way to the river where he made a pot sized bet. His stats are 40.5/11.5 over 150 hands, with aggression frequencies 38/38/44.

    Hero is running 14.4/7.2/ total postflop AFq 38.

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $362.30
    UTG+1: $198.15
    MP1: $0
    MP2: $177.90
    MP3: $61.40
    CO: $150.55
    Hero: $499
    SB: $169.30
    BB: $277.40

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with A A
    UTG raises to $8, 4 folds, Hero raises to $30, 2 folds, UTG calls.

    Flop: T 8 7 ($63, 3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $40, UTG raises to $80, Hero calls.

    Turn: 7 ($223, 3 players)
    UTG is all-in $252.3, Hero calls.

    I reraised a bit high preflop to get as much cash as possible into the pot and cut down a bit on implied odds. Earlier in the session I have reraised the size of the pot every time. This probably advertises my hand a bit too much if he's aware?

    On the flop I smooth called his c/minraise to keep the pot size somewhat managable and to keep him in the pot with KK/QQ. At this point I put him on either a missed pair or a set, and figure that it's ok to give a free card to JJ/99. Now, when the turn card pairs the board he open pushes for just above the pot size I don't put him on a boat because of his previous slowplay with KK, so I call.

    Hand 2:
    Villains stats are 38.5/9.6 over 50 hands, with aggression frequencies 25/50/75. No other read.

    Hero is running 30/16/AFq 48.

    SB: $198
    BB: $173.55

    Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP1 with A A
    2 folds, Hero raises to $7, MP2 raises to $20, 4 folds, Hero raises to $70, MP2 calls.

    Flop: 7 J T ($143, 2 players)
    Hero checks, MP2 bets $62, Hero calls.

    Turn: 2 ($267, 2 players)
    Hero checks, MP2 checks.

    River: 5 ($267, 2 players)
    Hero bets $150

    I planned to c/r the turn all in, when he checked behind I figured him to be vulnerable so I made a river bet that I thought he could call or even push over with KK/QQ. I thought about overbet-pushing to look like I'm bluffing but decided against it.

    I don't get the c/c flop in hand 2 after the pf action.

    1 looks good if he'll stack off with one big pair here.
