1st hand:

Reasonable raise pre, reasonable call IP.

Calling on the flop defines your hand for him (he knows you probably have something), but it doesnt do much for you. Most of the time he lays down to a re-raise here, and if he calls you have a much clearer idea of where you're at. So, I'm re-raising this flop. Your line of calling, planning to bet a scare card, is reasonable but more risky.

His lead in after you've called his continuation bet indicates strength. I like calling here, hoping to get to showdown and keep the pot small w/ my TPGK (small hand = small pot). Your choice to bet, repping a pair + diamond draw, is aggressive, but not unreasonable.

Villain shoving the river = I'm done. He's sending a clear signal that he's got a strong hand, and he called your turn bet knowing his shove on the river would give you 3:1 odds to call. He did it anyway. This looks like 44 or 55 to me, and I'm laying down.

The results are... interesting. Bad play on his part.
