Mr Wilson,

Hand 1,

If the BB is really loose then depending on the SB I might open limp this. Most other posters will probably disagree with me but I'm pretty sure there is an example in HEFAP that advocates open limping with Ax against a very loose blind.

Given how it played out I think its fine.

Hand 2

It's very dependent on what the annoying flop donk means. Given that you raised the flop I would bet the turn and hope he folds a 4 or a 5 and then check the river.

In your hand the flop raise and turn check really signals what your hand is so I don't mind a call on the end but the pot is quite small so I think a fold is probably correct.
