Re: $20/$40 high: two reasonably large pots without showdown
Hand 1: I think that completing on third street is the way to go, mostly because the cards behind you are either small or dead. I think betting on fourth was fine, but you should probably have folded to the raise. Maybe you call here and fold fifth if you don't buy any help, but with one of your cards completely dead, I think folding on fourth is better. I'm glad all this aggression paid off for you, and you might make a note that it works against this player, but I think most players are going to look you up most of the time.
Hand 2: limping on third street was fine, but calling when it was $35 to you was pretty silly. I do like how you played the rest of the hand.
