    What's your question Eug?

    Here are my thoughts about the hands:
    1. What's your reasoning for betting the turn? Do you want him to fold a pair better than yours, or do you want value from your pair?
    Against a huge CS like I think checking behind turn is better because you have showdown value.
    If you want villain to fold a better hand than yours you should bet harder.

    2.This is fine.

    3. After hand 2 I'm inclined to fold hand 3 to a PS river bet.
    I also like betting turn more than checking against this opponent, because he'll call with a lot of worse hands.

    4. Also fine.

    What's your question Eug?
    How best do I exploit this particular opponent's mistakes?

    Don't bluff if he's unbluffable. Valuetown him to death.

    1) I play the same. You can get value by betting 2 streets here believe it or not.

    2) same opponent as above? It's close but i might fold.

    3) I would b/f the river and probably bet turn.

    4) raise to like 25ish, its funny how many times this type of player assumes your fos and shoves.

    Why are you c-betting missed flops v's someone who doesnt fold to a c-bet?

    How best do I exploit this particular opponent's mistakes?
    Isolate him PF with any two big cards, if you hit your pair take him to value town, if you dont check it down.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    I guess the question is, in a hand like the 66 one above, is this a bluff, or is this value-towning him against his random two cards?

    My intention in all of these hands was to be betting for value.

    Hand 3 isn't an automatic call.

    The rest are pretty standard.
