Final Pot: 16 BB

MP was tighter preflop than most. I think a 40/10. Button is a TAG (suprisingly) I love that I'm getting subsidized by the TAG on the turn. Getting 2-1 on my money is sweet. That said, I think I played the whole hand correctly.

Hand 2 ----------------------------------------------

Villian here 40/17 with no postflop read. What do we think?

Final Pot: 14.25 BB

Villian here was loose passive preflop. Probably something like 50/5/.8. Of the three hands, this is the one I'm least sure of.
