Villain in this hand is running something like 60/32/7 but only over 53 hands. He has been 3 betting me a lot recently. When he first started he was always min 3 betting but I was running him over and he has adapted his 3 bet size to mine. Not sure if that means anything. He is very aggressive and fires pot sized bets like its his job.

This is all off memory, I'm going to try to make it as accurate as possible.
50nl 6 handed 100eff



Hand 1

Villain raises to 1.75 from the CO
SB calls
Hero calls from the BB with

flop (6)
SB checks
Hero checks
Villain bets 6
SB folds
Hero calls

turn (18)
Hero checks
Villain bets 18


Hand 2
Hero raises to 1.75 from the button
Villain 3 bets to 5.50 from blind
Hero calls

flop (11.25)
Villain checks
Hero bets 7
Villain is all in
38 for Hero call.


Any alternate lines here? Maybe 4 bet shove pf or 4 bet and set up a flop shove? As played what do I do?
Flopping quads and boats like its my job

 1: Being OOP sucks ass! Have you seen him take much to showdown? This is a tough spot.

2: Another sick spot.. I definitely think this is a 4bet pre though.

Hand 1 I don't know. Preflop can be a time to sqeeuze. Postflop I could even fold flop because of our marginal hand, we're OOP and villain is aggressive with big bets.
After calling flop turn has to be c/f imo, or block it.

hand 2 as played you have to fold of course, but I would 4-bet preflop because it's btn vs blind so you likely still have FE. Nothing you can do as played, tho 3-bet preflop/check flop does smell like a trap I think you take this down often enough.

 hand 1: i dont hate a call after SB calls and its playing 200bbs deep. Calling flop seems standard vs a maniac but fold turn for sure.

hand 2: im 4betting this all day and twice on sundays.

When he says 100eff he means in bbs. Or at least he should.

Put more money in preflop when you're ahead. He'll call too much.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
