$50 NL 6 max, two hands against same fish

I have noticed villian is loose passive, and after the 60 hands I played with him I see he was 55/3. Are both of these pushes standard against what appears to be a fish?

I had not showed any hands down in the few orbits I had been at the table but I had taken down 3 or 4 pots. These hands take place within one orbit of eachother.

Re: $50 NL 6 max, two hands against same fish

hand 1 after villain made it 5.5 i would of made it 20 or say. its more tempting to call and sets you up nicely to get the rest in on river. i think you lose too much of his hand range by pushing when there isnt much you need to protect against.

hand 2 looks good.

Re: $50 NL 6 max, two hands against same fish

Unless you've seen Villian calling a lot of overbets, I don't like either push. My experience is some loose players can find a fold if faced with a large bet. In the first hand, if Villian has a flush you're probably going to get the money in anyway, but might scare away a worse hand with an all-in (players like this might not think much about the three clubs until you make this massive bet). I'd just raise it to $15-20 and hope Villian comes over the top.

On the second hand, I'd raise on the flop. I think the turn bet allows the Villian to get away from a lot of hands you beat. I think a lot of this depends on your read of Villian. Is he making a lot of bets himself, or is he just calling bets down?

In general, I like making lots of 2/3 pot to pot sized bets against loose-passive players rather than all-ins. No reason to give him a reason to fold his top pair weak kicker.

I'd raise pf, but I know a lot of players won't. Not 3beting that flop is really bad imo, specially against a fish, you'll end up in this kind of situation a lot (trying to put a lot of money into the pot after the ultimate scare card comes)

You're representing a flush, I guess it depends on your read of the villain, if he likes to make big calls this might be good, otherwise I don't like it.
