Couple of hands here where I think I horribly failed to maximize value. Comments on all streets appreciated.
First hand, the villian in this is a moderately reasonable player. The standard raise to get people out of the hand on this table was $10....anything less, and you were likely to get about 7 callers. I Would have been happy picking up the blinds.

BB ($277.84)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB posts a blind of $1.

MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $45</font>, MP folds.
Final Pot: $122
Second hand....one of the villains is reasonable, the other is 76% vpip and about 55% pfr. The one who leads out after the flop is the 76/55 and he ALWAYS bets out. He also basically raises any 2.

On the second hand, I really think I should have just called, and let the villain bluff at it again. At the time I thought i'd get a call, but there is no way anyone calls this unless they probably have a better hand than me...is my thinking correct?
