Take a look at these hands. I know this is the ideal opponent to go up against, but even after the first hand (and watching him on other occaisions) I still didn't believe that someone would play this way.

As you can see, I had to shut down on the river both times (against all advice that I have read here and criticism I might receive). I know I didn't maximize the pot very well on these situations, but I just couldn't get a read on what he might have or why he'd be calling raises.

People do the dumbest shit in the world at these tables. It's tough to put people on hands at 1/2 penny tables. In the first hand since you raised him preflop and he called, when 3 tens come out in a heads up situation I feel it's pretty safe to say that they don't have it. If they do then it's their lucky day and they can take your 3 dollars, but I think you definitely need to not slow down the aggression on the river.

The second hand I can see your reluctance to bet with the ace, after all, in micro limit games your opponent usually has the ace. If he had the ace though, I don't feel like he would try to check-raise you on the turn and the river. If i didn't bet the turn I would have certainly bet the river.
