My read on both opponents was that the PFR was a laggy/bluff happy guy and that the cold caller was a calling station. I went for the c/r on the flop becuz the laggy guy would typically bet/fold flops so I figured this would be the optimum line to get some kind of value out of hand. I wasn't worried about the other guy. If he made any move at the pot I was giving it up pretty much no matter what. He has been pretty tight and I've seen him show down only premiums or sets.

In this hand Villain was again a complete moron. I seriously considered calling turn shove because in the hand right before this he shoved J6o on a 9103 flop all hearts and he had the 6 of hearts. I assumed he was making a move at this pot too, but I'm trying to grind up my BR from zilch, so I didn't want to commit my whole stack. I probly should have thought about that before I bet the turn. But usually he bets/shoves flop, so I wasn't expecting this on turn. Made me a little suspicious (which is why I folded). I hadn't seen him take this line before, and thought about calling down just to see what he had.

i beat 2NL for 10+ ptbb over 11k hands and i can tell you with absolute certainty that nearly all 3bets at this stake are KK/AA

hand 2 is fine. i'd be set mining here and won't continue without a ten (even if 3 undercards came)

I think your reads/thought process are all over the place in hand 1. How can a 'calling station' only have shown down sets/premiums? And if indeed he had only shown down good hands, I like a call more than a c/r to keep his range wider (especially since you were attempting to c/r MP not the button?). It seems like you made a plan for the flop (good), but then decided to go with it anyway even though the other villain was the one who bet (bad). Also, more reads would help enormously; when he had shown down a set, how did he play it? Would he cold call PF with a big PP? I mean this board is sooo dry i have a hard time believing a stationy villain is 3betting 88 or 4X here.
