Hand 1: I love shortstacked players. I don't see how I'm not getting all his money in on that hand.

Hand 2: Yeah, the river checkraise sucks, and overcalling sucks too, but the pot is huge and this is a really weird slowplay if it is, so I call for the information and the hope I'm good.

Hand 1: Looks like you either chop or lose to AA. Of course he may have been looking to throw the last of his money away.

Hand 2: I'm calling the river knowing I'm most likely not taking it down.

My bad, thought the BB raised, but it doesn't change my action on the river.

Hand 2: Its a tight passive staying with you all the way to the end...I like your line against most ppl, but against a tight passive I get pretty wary once he calls my turn bet. Agree with me or not but Im checking the river, Ive been check-raised far too many times and lost to a TPP. And it depends on their W$SD percentage but they are usually not going to call u down beat to often.

Either way after they call my turn bet, Im not looking at the river as a value bet. Cautious...sure, but against most opponents I keep betting, not against this one though.
