Villain is 50/13/1.5 over 8 hands. Looking back on this first hand, it looks pretty spewy. It's weird though, I seem to do better when I'm more aggressive instead of just check folding in these spots. Still, maybe this is a horrible spot to not giveup?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($17.70)
MP ($31.10)

SB ($72.75)
Hero ($50)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
1 fold, MP raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Button calls $1.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $7.25, MP folds, Button calls $5.50.

Flop: ($16.50) J, 8, K (2 players)
Hero bets $11, Button calls $11.

My first reaction when looking back at this second hand is that it looks spewy. On the other hand, check folding seems so weak. Villain is 17/10/1 over 59 hands.

I like the bluff on the first hand...nice play but the second hand I am not so sure.
Very risky IMO but again, nice play...hopefully they keep folding (I probably would have check folded instead of shoving.. lol)
