 Hand 1:

Villain is your typical limpy fish, limp/calling about half of his hands, not raising very often...

UTG ($1.56)
UTG+1 ($6.08)
MP1 ($4.57)
MP2 ($10.50)
Hero (MP3) ($5)
CO ($0.25)
Button ($3.08)
SB ($4.77)
BB ($5)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q, A
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero bets $0.25, 4 folds, MP1 calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.57) 8, 5, 9 (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $0.40, MP1 calls $0.40

Turn: ($1.37) A (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $1, MP1 calls $1

River: ($3.37) K (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks

Total pot: $3.37

Hand 2:

Villain wasn't on table for very long, but was very loose/aggro, raising a lot, over calling a lot and trying to take it down on the flop.

I always seem unsure about these situations, where i have suited and land a flush draw. I feel like c-betting here because of the semi-bluff potential, but against an opponent who won't fold very often, It's probably not wise, right? Should try and see a cheap turn and river?

And no, I was stupid and didn't notice he was short at the time, which also i find at these levels makes them want to ship it in with marginal hands faster.

Button ($3.49)
SB ($4.95)
BB ($2.41)
UTG ($2.82)
Hero (MP1) ($7.46)
MP2 ($5.80)
CO ($1.41)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q, A
UTG calls $0.05, Hero bets $0.25, 1 fold, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, SB calls $0.23, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.20

Flop: ($1.05) 8, 7, 3 (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.75, CO raises to $1.16 (All-In), 2 folds, Hero calls $0.41

Hand 1:
Smaller flop bet, WTF are you repping?
Turn is a standard bet/fold
I really hate checking this river behind, but you bloated the pot so badly on the flop...


Hand 2:
Throw your shirt into the pot
