Return of The Good, The Bad....The Ugly? (10/07)

[Harv72b]

It seemed like this thread was creating less & less interest, so I let it go for a while. But I had a couple of hands tonight that I thought would be perfect for the concept, so here we are back again. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

For those unfamiliar with the concept, I'm posting two hands. One, I think I played well. The other, I think I played poorly. I'd love to hear any comments, criticism, or suggestions on alternate lines that anyone has on either or both hands.

Tonight, both hands focus on flop decisions.

Hand 1

Reads: I only had about 20 hands on villain, but over that span he's been a little loose, a little prone to call down with (obviously) beaten hands, and has raised preflop exactly zero times. I'm still on my second orbit at the table, and haven't shown down a hand yet.

Hand 2

Reads: UTG has TAG numbers over a 50 hand sample, but hasn't impressed me at all in the hands I've seen. He might be steaming a little, or else overconfident in his ability to outplay the several loose/passives at this table. Button is unknown. SB is a well-known &amp; respected 2+2'er.
