    Default 2 tough spots...

    Hand 1: Main Villain is kinda fishy, not real strong either pre or postflop. I have him at 25/7/1. This is the first time I have seen him.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($214.45)
    SB ($261.25)
    Hero ($580.35)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
    Button raises to $7, SB calls $6, Hero raises to $38, Button folds, SB raises to $262.25, Hero ???

    Hand 2:Villain is HHHthegame88 18/13/1.7. I look for him as he is a bad nit, who bluffs in bad spots. Over my last 100k+ hands 22,33,44, and 55 are all losing quite a bit due to a large amount of being over set. Everytime I see a raise now I think I am beat, but I never seem to be able to fold...

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($240.65)
    UTG ($291.50)
    MP ($186.15)
    Button ($275.90)
    Hero ($244.25)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 2.
    UTG raises to $8, 2 folds, Hero calls $7, BB calls $6.

    Flop: ($24) 2, 3, 5 (3 players)
    Hero bets $14, BB folds, UTG calls $14.

    Turn: ($52) 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $35, UTG raises to $90, Hero ???

    1) I probably call just because I don't think players like this think this is a way to get value from AA

    2) push and forget about it

    hand 1: i think you can fold QQ to an unknown here.
    hand 2: you can never be wrong going broke on set vs set....well at least it wouldn't be a measurable mistake...

    Hand 1: If he was slowplaying AA to the first raise he's probably slowplaying it to the reraise. I agree with Sauce that this is a call.
    It's more of a call if you have an aggro image or you've reraised in this spot recently.

    I was running very well on this table(note:stack). Plus don't I always have an aggro image?

    I'd put my stack on the line as teh default play and would need a read to not do this otherwise.

    Actually, maybe you just play me soft (probably a good strategy, lol), but i usually don't see you three-bet light or play very aggro.
