All replies appreciated.

Hand 1: I push river against fucktard, particularly since it wouldn't cost him is stack (mental thing, he wants to keep playing and not re-buy.)
Hand 2: Don't build pots out of position. Hammer or call.
Hand 3: Ni han.
Hand 4: I see a turn against LAgg and c-bet less often into boards like that when I'm not willing to dance with him.
Hand 5: No fucking way I fold the river for $3.
Hand 6: Ni han. Sometimes I check the turn.

1- Looks good.
2- I don't like to c-bet OOP against 2+ opponents.
3- Raise PF. Rest is fine.
4- Looks fine. If he keeps it up you may want to call the min-raise and lead the turn.
5- Looks nasty for you. Maybe a blocking bet? I don't like calling the turn raise and checking the river, but it seems like folding is weak.
6- I don't think he has a 7. A set might play this way, but more times than not they raise the turn I think. An overpair would probably raise you. I think you're good enough times here to bet, but I can also understand checking river.

Weaksauce if he's any good. If he's stupid, just make a hand and play for stacks.

How big of a river bet? Call a min-raise? Push? Betting the river builds a pot in a difficult spot... 13/2 doesn't sound loose enough for me to want to value bet this river.

FWIW:

#1 I would have pushed him all in on the river, looks good otherwise
#2 Two other people in there, bad position, not a great flop, check or fold (ohh ya, id bet more preflop)
#3I woulda bet 1-1.5 pre
#4 looks alright to me
#5 looks like he either hit a set, or had a trash hand (57s, they love playing anyting suited at these tables from what i have seen) that connected, it may be dumb, but i would have called his bet on the river to take notes....

I don't see any reason not to showdown 2 pair and expect to win quite often.

Hero did not know this at the time of the hand though.

Yeah, this was a mistake. I've been paying too many people off lately but this was not the place to plug that leak.

Results..
Hand 1 - Villain showed Ad 8d - for the sucker end.
Hand 3 - Villain showed 8h 8d - he flopped the set and played it well.
Hand 6 - Villain mucks 8c 9c - you called me with what?

He played it slow, so I was surprised. I guess that doesn't equal good play. Given the flop and his stack, I was paying him off no matter how he played it. A perfect flop for him.
