2 deep hands vs regs who are probably too tight for my own good!
Both these hands happened to me recently,
they seem to be a common theme that’s weighing on me a little.
I don’t recall all the exact details of the
hands, but ill try and paint an honest picture in how they went down.
UTG is a loose passive fish
Villain is a middle aged regular, who seems
solid, and has been seen raising getting it in with A high fd, and also open
ended straight draw, but has also took calling lines with big draws…
1/2 nl
Hand 1
UTG limps
UTG+1(villain) limps
mid pos limps
button limps
SB limps
Hero checks in the BB
Hero holds (6h8h)
Flop (9d7sAs) pot($12)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets 10,
villain calls, folds around, hero calls.
Turn (Td) Pot($32)
Hero checks, UTG bets $10, villain raises
to $25, hero raises to $80, UTG folds, villain calls.
River (Jd) Pot ($200)
Hero
jams for $210 and is all in, villain covers.
Hand 2
1/2nl /4 struddle
Live $4 straddle with 5 callers around the
table.
Villain is a reg who I have seen everyday I play but haven't played barely any hands with, from his frequencies and from the premiums he showed down+ his general attitude I can only suppose that he is relativly tight.
Hero is in the bb with AdQc, and makes it $34
folds around to villain who is on the button and calls.
effective stacks are $635 to start the hand
(Pot 85)
flop( Qs,8c,4h)
hero bets 55 villain calls
Pot (195)
Turn (8d)
Hero bets 140, villain calls
River (Tc)
Pot (475)
Hero shoves remaining $410
by the way heroes image in both instances according to hero is aggressive pre and post flop. Not exactly sure how aggressive they view me though...

Hand one...
I hope he had J/8d or Ax of diamonds... I'm not sure I like the lead out all in, but it was only pot sized. Did you have a live read, was he looking for a diamond? You played it fine besides the possible check, call river.... Which would have played the same way probably,, him putting you all in. One, two players aren't folders, there isn't much you can do but play strong and hope to hold rivers.
Hand two...
He had Kings or he trapped you with a bigger hand. Sometimes pot control is in order for tight conservative players that are looking to absorb bullets. They have something, obviously. You raising from the blind allowed him to put his vest on and let you do all the work. He played the player as well, according to your description of your own table image. He's not calling three streets with Jacks or worse unless he doesn't believe you. You have to adjust vs these players and make a read.
H1 hope you snap called
H2 don't like your line given pre and villain description.
yeah with this type of villain you can get way more information by checking then you will with betting. He won't be betting river thinly so you know if he barrels 3 streets he's ahead.
