So, villain is winning,good thinking player,tricky,plays polirized range when bluff,prone to tilt,losing much for last days,down now about few buy ins,but tight now vs me,because Hero play tight.
Hero is a winning player,plays tight now,in some other sessions can play LAG.

Hero (540$) is AKs in HJ,7 handed
UTG limps (250$),Hero raises 10$, Villain(covers all) calls OTB(First call at the button for 3-4 hours.),BB calls
Flop (41$) A77r
check,check,hero checks,villain bets 30$,fold,fold,hero calls
Toughts: It is really hard to get value vs this villains on this flop,mb some times I get call one street with AQ,If I check I can value bet 2 streets from Ace
Turn (100$) 8h
Hero checks, villains bets 70$,hero calls
Toughtsk, he might have an Ace,or 7,I want check-check river,and if he bets I fold
River (240) 9c
Hero checks, villain bets 140,hero?
Hero's range on the river AA,AK,AQ,rarely KK,QQ

2nd hand
Hero(600$) on sb with 33,Villain(covers) straddles 4$,7 handed
2 limps,button(200$,down 2K,tilting fish) limps,hero completes,bb folds,Villain checks on a straddle
flop (20$) Ah3c9d
Hero bet 12$, Villain calls, button calls
Turn(56$)8d
Hero checks,Villain bets 45$,button calls,Hero?
Toughts: I dont think villain has A9 here,most of the time he has A8 here,we are deep in 300 bb,if I raise here it will be my value raise with a monstr 100% of the time,howewer, he very rare will have here 99,and I ahead here most of the time,but I say it again,I cant balance the raise here.


I really dissapointed by results,and I always lose money to the villain.
he showed his cards in these hands,so results will be later.
I hope u guys can help me to improve my game against him,and give me advice what to do and understand his thinking acording his cards.

In hand 1, if the Villain is competent he doesn't randomly bet when checked to, so you're really not being deceptive by check-calling.

In hand 2, you checked not to check-raise but to get called if Villain hit a 2-outer for 2-pair? I guess you also wanted to let it get checked through in the 95% of cases he didn't hit two pair? I don't get it.

You haven't really provided any info about your thought process, or the Villain's thought process so the following is mostly just a guess:

Hand 1: The Villain isn't value-betting worse
Hand 2: Set-mining out of position against competent Villains isn't profitable if you don't feel comfortable triple barreling flopped sets.

First: checking is a terrible leak OTF. Bet next time. As played, call the river because you have only a slight idea where you are. Betting is a better play that will give information, and you actually have a hand.

Second: love the lead OTF. HATE the check OTT. You should be betting that all day long. As played, raise to around $140-150 and probably plan on GII to anybody playing back. Probably shipping OTR for value.

Hand 1: Judgement call that depends entirely on how often villain is bluffing. Your line looks exactly like some sort of AX that slowed down after flop because you didn't want to build a big pot. There isn't much to say except that against a competent opponent you have to call this some of the time and fold some of the time. Being right more then wrong is the skill part of poker.

Hand 2: Bet more on flop, $15 if not $20. When you lead flop you should also lead turn after your flop bet gets two calls. Exactly for the reason you note, when you check and then don't fold your hand looks very strong. Raise is still the best line because tilting fish is the most likely to call with worse and and main villain isn't giving you a hand worse then A9. Make it $200 but expect both to fold a lot.

Why play LAG when you play like a total NIT when you have monsters?

It seems you have a huge aggression issue

Consider that V seems tricky because you are being way too fancy? Not the only player at the table, right? Plenty of other $ to take, right?

Go back to simple, uncomplicated, ABC poker.

Hand 1: bet bet bet. How many 7x combos does V have in his range? Would he float an obvious AK flop with air to rep a 7 later? No. He folds, you win small pot. Aces up on a paired board is a small to middling hand.

Hand 2: bet bet bet. You have a set. He has way more 1pair/2pair combos in his range than exactly 99. Win decent sized pot vs. a pair of aces, win a big pot vs. Aces up (because aces up on an unpaired board is a much bigger hand than aces up on a paired board. DUCY?)
