On the second hand, my logic goes like this: flop is a fairly standard float/possible value call, which I do against a lot of weaker players when I have position and a medium pair with just one over on the board (even though it's an ace - there's a chance it scares him as much as me). On the turn his hesitation and weak bet tells me he wants a cheap showdown for whatever he has (weak ace? pair lower than AA?) and I feel obligated to not give it to him. I make a standard raise for me in this spot planning to 2nd barrel if he calls. River is the planned follow-through bluff, and I also don't mind that the jack paired and he checked - he probably didn't connect with it in the first place, so even if he doesn't fear the ace like I'm hoping, he might fear the trip jacks. Idunno. I actually have a good success rate with this exact line against this specific type of player, as well as weaker TAggs. It often ends up being really profitable when they call the turn and then give up on the river, but that means the river bet has to be healthy, and it helps if the last card off is a scary one.

Finally, I like the fact that I recently showed down a strong hand (good table image for this kind of bluff) but maybe don't like that I took a bad beat on it (he might read me as steaming). That is, assuming he pays attention at all, which I don't know.

Anyway - outcomes in white:

Hand 1 - he had AQ and spiked a queen to beat me. What can ya do.

Hand 2 - he hesitated a long time and eventually called me with KK. Rrrrr. I don't know if he soul-read me or was just stubborn and not that good.
