Getting played back at with PPs (Bellagio 30/60)
Good game a couple of weeks ago. Villain is a young spiky-haired guy with an iPod who seems to be one of the best players at the table. My read prior to Hand #1 is that he was tight-aggressive; he seemed to get a little wilder prior to Hand #2.
Hand #1: Folded to me in MP with QQ. I raise, folded to Villain in SB who 3-bets, BB folds, I call with the intention of raising a ragged flop. Flop: Kxx Bet, call. Turn: x Bet, call. River: x Check, check. Hand #2: Folded to Villain in LP who raises. Bad maniac 3-bets in the CO, SB folds, I 4-bet in the BB with KK, Villain caps, CO calls. Flop: xxx I bet, Villain raises, CO folds, I call. Turn: A Check, bet, call. River: x Check, bet, call. |

I'm not a midstakes player but i think you should bet the river in the first hand. He isnt checking a king there and you will get paid off by lower pocket pairs.

use your position better. each has aspects that can be used.
Hand 1: clear river bet after he checks. this is where the value of position matters a great deal. further, with QQ i like to cap pf or atleast reraise again. Hand 2: since you're out of position here, i like to play it faster on the flop. 3 bet the villian. if he continues to show aggression, simply call down. the A is a great card for you if he 4bets your 3bet. its a great card for you regardless b/c it reduces the probability he has AA. simply call it down. but play the flop faster.

i would 4 bet in hand 1, but i understand your reason not to, but you should definately bet the river
in hand 2, i would 3-bet the flop against a bad maniac, if he raises when the ace comes, call down |

Hand 1:
Not 4 betting preflop is pretty bad. Given that you didn't I like the flop and the turn, the river is an easy bet. Hand 2: I've been trying to add some river folds to my game, and I think is one spot where i'd probably find one. |

I dunno, there seems to be a whole lotta info missing when the boards are described as "Kxxxx" and "xxxAx"...
