Default A series of 10/20 hands against the same villain....(long)

I think posting these together as a series is better than individually since they all occured within an hour one right after the other... Most of the time he had about 3k and I covered.

Game is playing pretty tag preflop (7 handed), not too much limping. I'm kinda playing table captain, but a number of solid longtime prima players are sitting/playing, so it's not like I'm running the show (i.e. anrik, winslowlee, someone else I can't remember), but a lot of them are rocks. Anyway, these all toook place against Very_Fishy, who seems pretty tight preflop, his real raises are real hands, his minraises aren't. He has been playing pretty conservatively and not getting out of line at all. His play was generally solid though maybe a little weak at times.

Anyway, here we go:

1 limper, Fishy makes it 80, 2 callers, and I call out of the BB with 97 (not hearts).

Flop comes T85 (2 hearts)

Fishy bets 240, folded to me, I call. Heads up.

Turn 9 hearts

I was planning to check-raise this turn if he bet, but he didn't.

River 8d

I lead for 600 into an 800 pot. He hesitates, thinks, and calls.

He types in aftewards if I had gone all in he wouldn't have called.

My thoughts: I tried to represent the missed turn check-raise with a flush by firing out on the river, meh?

A few hands later:

He minraises, I call out of the sb with KQo (I don't normally call raises oop with KQo, but I'm ahead of a large range of hands he is doing this with, the problem is that I don't know what on any given flop.)

Flop comes AT9r

I check/call 80

Turn 3 (2 diamonds)

I lead for 160, he calls.

River Qc

I check/call 300.

A few hands later:

I raise with AJs utg to 80. I have been raising with a variety of hands, none have really made it past the flop, cause I'm either called in 1 or 2 spots and I continuation bet. I can feel that someone is waiting to make a move agaisnt me.

Flop J95r

I check, he checks

Turn T (I pick up a heart draw)

I bet 120, he minraises, I call.

River 9c

He bets 500, I call.


A few small pots go back and forth, and I make the commment that I can't seem to beat him, and say how he should play every hand against me regardless, cause he will win. I realize things like this shouldn't be said at the table. But at the current moment, I was winning almost every hand against everyone else, and losing every hand against him.
I also say this hoping he will over compensate in a big pot based on my feelings, but this is probably a bit of a stretch.

Anyway, a few more hands and:

I open for 80 with AcKc, fishy and anrik call.

Flop comes 763r

Anrik checks, I bet 160, fishy minraises, anrik folds, I call.

Turn 8

I lead for 400.

My logic is that with my aggressive raising he is doing this to slow me down, or make me fold overcards, if he called the 400 I was going to check/fold any river unless I hit my K or A. Is this bad? Since he will probably bet every non A/K river when I check to him except when he can beat TPTK, then he will bet. I don't know if I have the sack/read yet to lead into him again on the river if it's irrelevant. So this means I'm always losing on the river, right?

Thanks.
