2 hands vs. aggressive player facing a push

[I Am Your Friend]

The villian in this hand is a Party regular, STR8CashHOme, who multitables the 10/20 games. He seems like a pretty solid player, but is very loose and aggressive. He seems to like to make random raises for any amount with any two cards and uses his position well.

He's multitabling right now, but is stuck a lot between his four tables and seems to be tilting on them, except for this particular table where he is up and seems to be playing normally.

Hand 1

My stack is $3000. His stack is $5000.

One early position limper to me and I raise in late position with K /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif to $80. The SB folds. He calls in the BB. Limper calls too.

The flop is Q /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif

He bets $185. The limper folds and I just call.

The turn is 4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

He checks. /images/graemlins/mad.gif I bet $450. He seems to hesitate for a while and then calls.

The river is the 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and he pushes all in. What should I do here? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

HAND 2

This is a while later on a different table. He's calmed down some of his LAG play.

My stack is $2600. His stack is $2000 (He just reloaded after getting rivered in a big pot)

He open limps in MP. Three limpers follow him. I raise in the SB with Q /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ/images/graemlins/spade.gif to $160. Only he calls.

The flop is 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I bet $250. He pushes. What do I do now? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

im calling both hands...im not that good to get away from either hand althogh hand 2 would be easier to get away from than hand one

[I Am Your Friend]

what are you putting the villian on in these hands?

[flawless_victory]

youre description of this player could not possibly be any further off. he is not even close to loose whatsoever.

hand 1. if you called, you lost. he has the nuts here.
hand 2. flip a coin. i dont care.

[Niwa]

fold both.

Hand 1 looks like the underfull - I love leading out with the underfull and trapping trips as he has done here. Before your brain can even think 'OGODIAMBEAT' you've probably clicked call.

Hand 2, I fold. What do you beat here? I mean I guess he could have A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif but you're a dog to that as well. He limp called a raise out of the SB and is pushing. Have you been aggressive out of the blinds lately? Because if your raising range is the standard (JJ, QQ, KK, AA, AK), you have to lay this down. He knows this and therefore could be bluffing, but then again how often do overpairs lay down here?

Umm, I think it's the other way around, I think hand 1 is easier to fold than hand 2. Hand two I'm thinking big draw. Axs or JTs. But then again, maybe AA or KK limps, in MP it's a little less likely to be AA or KK, but he was still first in. I would lean more towards calling hand two and hand 1 I would lean more towards folding.
Call with QQ, fold trips to either a house or AQ, I doubt a "regular winner" does it with QJ, so all you can beat is a bluff (which is posible).

[Your Mom]

1 is almost always a boat, so fold. 2, you lose to 88, 99, AA, KK, and are a dog to a really good spade/straight draw, so fold that one too.

Against this particular type of player you'd be better off checking the flop in hand 2, espeically considering how easily readable your hand is.
