2 hands @ Party 100NL (6max)
 
Here are two hands from last night that I'm a bit confused with. I really have to start to play more aggressive. Any comments are welcome.

Bb is a lose aggressive player (pre-flop raises 28% and v$ip is 65%) I think I played this hand ok, was a bit surprised that I get called from SB. Is this a correct bet against a tight aggressive player as well?

Final Pot: $296.24

MP is a lose aggressive player (pre-flop raises 20% and v$ip is 50%). This hand was played terrible and I been thinking about it all day. I recon that I should go all-in after the flop here my only concern was the pot size. Is it to small for such a play? A guess I chose the worst option to just call and see if he shows any weakness on the turn?

Re: 2 hands @ Party 100NL (6max)
 
These hands belong in the small stakes PL/NL forum.

Hand 1: pushing on the flop is reasonable, but not mandatory. One of the reasons to make these moves is so that your opponents will pay off your big hands later. That's not a factor in Party 100, especially when you may not see these opponents again for a while.

Hand 2: if you push every nut draw, you will go broke, since Party players call too much. Lead the flop or check-call are both okay, although you have to get paid off in order for calling a flop-sized bet to be profitable. I doubt that the turn weak lead will buy you a cheap river, but it didn't cost you much. Definitely fold to the raise.
