So much puke on this damn keyboard

Oops, my mistake. I threw that in as an afterthought, but it was not well thought out, after all.

My biggest mistakes are when I don't b/f. So maybe continuing here isn't as good as I like to think it is. I don't think a fold is terrible here, w/o history blind v blind.

Villain's generally wide stats make me want to peel the flop raise. I think you can discount AA here, since Villain flatted twice PRE.

Then I get myself into this spot where I peeled the flop and I'm not folding when a blank falls OTT. Plus, the 1/2 pot bet looks a bit fishy.

I've frequently been called a nit, and I find a c/r with a lot of hands is pretty solid blind v blind OTF. I'm usually firing another shot OTT when I c/r OTF. I don't think a c/r is too bad for Villain w/ AQ on a wet board. I think Villain can expect you to C-bet super-wide when checked to. Villain might also think and will call a raise with JJ- and plenty of draws, making a c/r for value a solid play here.

If that's what he thinks, then a 1/2 pot bet to get value from JJ and charge the draws isn't bad. If he's on a draw and semi-bluffing, it makes sense, too.

Yeah, I prefer stacking off in hand 2 to doing it in hand 1. In both cases, I hate that I don't know what to do, but if I had to guess I'd say I made a mistake calling the flop in hand 1, and a mistake folding the turn in hand 2.
