Two hands against the same player

[AliasMrJones]

Two hands against the same player where 4 draw cards hit the board. Table was very loose and very passive and this player was a calling station.

OK, not terribly interesting and I think I posted this the wrong way. The results of the first hand influenced me to play the second hand differently than I normally would, and I think I screwed it up.

The first hand I called the river bet after the 4-card straight hit the board, expecting to lose. My opponent turned over J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif and MHIG?

So, then I'm up against the same guy and this time the flop comes low straight flush in clubs. Yuck. I have only overcards, but bet out hoping he doesn't have clubs and will go away. He calls. Then a fourth club hits. Normally I'd check/fold here, but my opponent called my raise cold so I assume the straight is out and since its heads up there is a decent chance he doesn't have a club. I bet out again. He called again. Then a K/images/graemlins/spade.gif came on the river. Now I'm pretty sure I'm beat. I check, he bets and I call? He turns over K/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/spade.gif he wins.

I think the big differences were 1) I had position on the first hand. 2) I hit the flop on the first hand. 3) The real scare card came on the river on the first hand. 4) It is more likely that he has a club in hand 2 than one of the straight cards in hand 1. I seriously misplayed hand 2. Any comments?

Hand one, I call the river.

Hand two I check, fold on the turn.
