Why is villain always female when you post?
I could have sworn I answered this loaded question before, but it's because Full Tilt has female avatars, and this player was using one. Obviously the person may not be literally female, but it may say something that they choose to represent themselves as such.

About the preflop - am I raising more just to iso, for value, or what is the goal? BB was a nit and I knew wouldn't call without a decent hand. If he'd been looser I would have bumped it to at least 2.00. But I like to play small ball with weird fish and get into lots of hands with them - I wasn't too interested in just taking down the dead money. I figured BB would fold and button would call, which is what happened. Any larger raise I think is just to get a bigger pot going/for value, yes?

About the turn - I didn't know for sure but my gut was telling me that this player liked to hang around in other people's raised pots and either draw out or bluff on the end. I get that vibe from people sometimes from their bet sizing and when they choose to bet - I think it was mainly because she donked into me twice on my first raised hand and then didn't bet her own after she flopped top pair. That's hardly a rock solid read, of course, but it makes me think that giving up any time I miss the board and she has position on me is throwing a lot of value away. Am I overthinking it? Certainly there are better spots to get her money, I know that much.
