1/2 Hollywood St Louis
Villain in question is a 60s white guy who has been quite loose but has also applied a fair amount of pressure. He is clearly a thinking player and fights for pots on coordinated boards but is far too loose. I.e. he will limp too much and call too many raises with weak broadways or low connectors, etc. He is probably a small winner in this game given he gives too much action to super tight players. Hero is young 20s white guy who has a fairly good image and has just recently stacked another player w/ JJ on JTx vs KQ.

Since the last hand the V has moved to the seat directly on my left now and has made it clear with the table earlier he does not chop.

What do you guys think of how I played these two hands. Both calls or both folds? Both of these hands I had decent blockers I believe.
Which hand do you think is a winner and which is the loser?
