Just started playing 5-10 live, so any comments would be great!

Hand 1
Hero (2K) has been playing pretty tight, aggressive. Villain (~1.4K) is a Loose aggressive player; he joined the table ~30 mins back (bought in for 1K chipped up to 1.4). Before he joined, when his seat was locked, a couple of others said this guy is a multimillionaire, and an action player.

From what I saw until now, he was very aggressive double-barreling OOP and such, but usually gave up to counter-aggression unless he had something. Overall, he seemed like a positive winning player.

Hero has just "moved up" to 5-T. I'm a 3-5 winning player (probably among the top 10% of 3-5 player pool), but only play once a week. So most people haven't seen me, and even if they have, they know I am a 3-5 player.

Preflop: Villain is UTG, makes it $50, two folds, hero (KcKd) calls. (I just call as it's unlikely the pot will be >3-way, and I wanted him to barrel off flop/turn), BTN calls.

Flop(~$150): 5d 6d 9c.
Villain bets $110, Hero calls, BTN folds.

Turn($370): 9h.
Villain bets $300, Hero calls.

River ($970): 7s.
Villain checks, Hero checks.

Comments on every street?



Hand 2
Hero (800) has been playing tight, aggressive but got sucked out on in a ~$700 pot, so the table may think I was on tilt. Villain (~1.3K) is also tight aggressive player, and not many reads on him; just that I've seen him c/r turns with monsters a couple of times - so basically likes to wait until the turn to show strength.

Hero (UTG) raises to $40 with KhQh, one call, villain (UTG+3) calls, BTN calls, BB (~900) calls.

Flop($200): 2h 5h 7d. BB checks, Hero bets $110, one fold, BTN folds, BB thinks for a little while and calls.

Turn($530): 4c. BB checks. Hero? [I'm fairly certain BB isn't strong; perhaps still drawing to FD, or a marginal hand.]

Hero checked. Villain bets $360, BB folds. Hero?? If all my FD outs and K & Q outs are safe wins, I'm getting the right implied odds (it's going to be impossible for villain to fold the remaining 240 or so if I make my flush and lead the river).

Hand 2: So there were 2 callers on the flop? I would lead the turn. I'd probably fold the turn for $360

Hand 1: Actually vs a maniac, I don't mind slowplaying all the way, let his aggression bite him in the ass. As played bet river ~500.

Hand 1 is fine although my default is to repop him PF... as played PF everything else is standard.

Hand 2 I would fire the turn. you are representing the overpair perfectly and have plenty of outs when called.

Edit: i'm not sure what's going on hand 2 either... are there 2 or 3 players???

keep barreling in hand 2

Hand 1:

3bet pre for value. As played, bet river for value. Either way, you are leaving too much value on the table. Live players CALL too much. This is their biggest flaw. You must exploit this.
