Hand 1

Villain is young with headphones but not good, has limped called a number of times. I do not remember villain at any point open raising pre. One hand where he called a raise with QQ pre and about 60 behind. My image would be TAG; have had it each time at showdown.

5 limps including villain in CO. Hero raises AKo to 22 from BB. Only villain calls

Flop(52)- 8,6.2 rainbow
Hero?

Villain has about 75 left in his stack, Hero covers, how to proceed?



Hand 2

Villain is probably mid 50s and likes to talk, has only been at table for about 1 orbit but comments on everything. Villain has about 300, I cover with about 350 total

3 limps, I limp the button with 76o, villain completes from SB, BB checks.

Flop (12) 10,9,2 with 2 spades. Checks around

Turn (12) 8h putting out 2nd flush draw.

Villain leads for 10, two calls, Hero raises to 50, Villain shoves after about 5s. Hero?

Villain talks like he knows he's good and does not want me to get there. Thoughts on hand plus turn raise to 50?

Thanks

Hand 1: Lead for about 40, call shove.

Hand 2: Fold. Raise to 50 in limped pot here is maybe a bit loose, but it's ok. You asked a question and he answered, now fold.

Hand 1: Was V limp-calling decent (i.e raises to $20 or higher) raises frequently or was the QQ hand the only time? If the latter, it would seem most of his "decent pf calling" range is ahead of you - JJ to AA for sure. I'm ck/folding all streets unless I spike a K or A.

If Villain has been calling decent raises with non-premium stuff, then I'd b/f for $30 otf. If we can take down a $52 pot here on a semi-bluff I'm OK with that tbh. If V calls, we're behind, and with only 6 outs we're not getting good enough pot odds to call down his remaining short stack (unless he does something ridiculous like bet $5). I'd just ck/fold ott and otr unless we spike a K or A.

Hand 2: only thing I'm going to say is plz raise pf to steal or fold that garbage hand from the button.

Hand 1: I'd just just cbet/fold. Villains a nit, so I'd cbet $20 because he isn't going to make a move. Then just check/fold the rest of the streets if called.

Hand 2: I'd say raise more OTT. We don't want stubborn people with like Jx flush draws calling and blinking for cheap.
Also like others said, raise or fold OTB.
AP, I sigh fold.
