Recently I played 2 hands within a short period of time with the same player and feel that I misplayed both hands but just need confirmation. I wasn't sure where I was in the hand and that is the reason I need advice on how to better handle the situation next time it arrives.

First off villian is a Calling Station MAWG who has all the confidence in the world regardless of results from past sessions. He also has a terrible case of FPS constantly playing all five streets with air 3 betting in horrible spots that make little sense.

Hand 1
2 players limp as well as V who is in MP. Game is 1/2 - effective stacks are short at $60. I'm sitting on the BTN and pick up AQ and bet $18 trying to make it look like a steal and just have one player look me up. Unfortunately I got all 3 callers to come along, including V in MP. Money in the pot is $75 going to the flop.

Flop is 667 and the table checks to me. In this spot what would be the right approach? Its a somewhat dry board so I fire out $40 repping a big pocket pair. Well the first 2 players fold and V pushes his stack in which at this point was only an extra $2 so I put it in. V had flopped the boat so am I correct in betting the flop with my hand or should I have played it more cautiously. It should be noted that the 2 other players in the hand were also short stacked and I was big stack at the table with a little over 150bb.

Hand 2
I am in the HJ with Q10 and bet PF making it $6 at which point V calls in the CO and all others fold. At this time in the session V has lost all the money from earlier and re-bought for very small. He has roughly $40 and I still have him well covered.
Flop is A94 and I bet out $8 at which point he min raises me to $16. With only $18 left in his stack I decided to commit to the hand at that point and put in a raise that covered his stack.
Should I just have folded in this spot to his flop raise considering my IO are not the best? I feel a call here is the worst out of all my options but I could be wrong.

Also any advice on how to play against a player with these tendencies would be great. His main playing style is limp-calling, over calling and FPS

H1 - Check. Esp MW. Horrible board to cbet vs. a calling station btw, they will always get sticky w/a pair OTF in this spot, you can't really fire one and done here.

H2 - Is 6 normal preflop sizing i'd make it 10 if i were to raise, i would just fold pre tho. AP bet 2/3-3/4 OTF and shove most turns your 40 dollars effective?, im just gonna gamble and GII either way vs. his range of hands w/e.

Also don't reveal ur results... btw

If you are playing a calling station just value bet more/as well as thinly, bluff less, and fold more to aggression you should profit tremendously...

Hand 1: Against 3 short stacks who are likely to feel committed with any pair just give up on that flop.

Hand 2: Don't try to push calling stations out of hands. One you bet and he min raises the shove is fine as long as his min raises are not always big hands. You have enough equity against AX that your in OK shape even if the only thing he folds is spazz bluffs.

In general, don't try to bluff him and wait for value. If his stack is deep try to see more flops cheaply, if his stack is short then play a tight value range preflop and just commit to any flop where you have TPGK or better.

Hand 1 - I don't mind the bet pre and on the flop if it's only $60 effective - You could have the best hand and even if you are against a hand like 99 - you should have 25% equity on that flop which is fine based on how big the pot. I might actually go $25 pre if my plan was to jam any flop though.

Hand 2 is fine but if he only has $40 you can consider limping instead of raising to $6. You don't need to bloat the pot pre flop to get stacks in.

Do you understand that the goal of trying to make it look like a steal and the goal of getting only one caller are contradictory?

Hand 1 we are only 30bb eff stacks? What about blinds, also so short?
If so think about push pre. If you are deeper with blinds, raise less, about 5-6bb.
