Playing 1-2 NL at Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls, NY.
These two hands, both between HERO and VILLAIN, occurred almost consecutively, with one hand in between them.
HERO had been playing pretty tight all night, raising very infrequently and showing down mostly decent hands.
VILLAIN seemed like a hothead, got into a huge argument with someone who called his $75 flop raise on a $25 bet with AJo. They tied the hand and almost got kicked out. VILLAIN seemed like a pretty aggressive and emotional player. Solid pre-flop from what HERO could tell, poor overbets postflop.
anyway, to the hands...

Post-Commentary

HERO just wants to know if HERO...
a) got real lucky on both hands.
b) got lucky on the first hand, and used the "tilt" factor to squeeze out all the money in the second.
c) played the first hand "acceptably" loose because of the smaller table, his table image, and the table image of the VILLAIN.
of course HERO is me, but I didn't want to be using I and ME all the time.
also, most of the players at the table thought it was unbelievable i thought (for a second, before I called) the guy might have flopped the nut straight in the second hand.
should I have screamed call right away?
i was pretty stunned at the raise, it was very sudden.
