    Villain was just moved to my table, no reads on him, but over about 10 hands he had been open limping a few times, folding to raises preflop.

    Hand #1

    pokerstars Game , $300+$20 Hold'em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2007/09/26 - 16:27:16 (ET)
    Table '70000017 232' 6-max Seat #5 is the button
    Seat 1: Argentína (8800 in chips)
    Seat 2: LUPIN XXIX (6320 in chips)
    Seat 3: ili-5 kenobi (3554 in chips)
    Seat 4: neverwin xx (10490 in chips)
    Seat 5: danube (4300 in chips)
    Seat 6: PULAS (1980 in chips) is sitting out

    neverwin xx: checks
    *** RIVER *** [7s Ah 7d 3d] [Kc]
    LUPIN XXIX: bets 1500
    neverwin xx:

    The pot has around ~1175 in it right now, and he overbets 1500. My immediate thought was that he might be thinking if he has AQ/AJ, then he's a chop against any ace except AK. Also, this could just be an outright bluff. It could also be any 7, 33, or 77. If I raise/jam, I'm getting more value out of any other A, and spewing HUGE to any 7 or 33. If I call, I'm losing less against the 7 or 33 hands, but losing value against any A. Whats your play here and why?

    Hand #2

    PokerStars Game , $300+$20 Hold'em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2007/09/26 - 16:33:25 (ET)

    LUPIN XXIX: calls 1050
    *** RIVER *** [Tc 6d 3s Th] [Ac]
    LUPIN XXIX: bets 3050
    neverwin xx:

    This hand occured a little bit later on at the table, and my thoughts preflop were that if I can hit a hand cheaply, there will be huge implied odds, as villain had been playing pretty TAG/abc poker. What's your play on the river? I felt that he had AA here about 90% of the time. Do you guys call or fold this?

    Thanks.

    The first hand while i do think your hand is good, I think I am only calling, because if I raise I may get a call from a guy with AJ or so thinking he is chopping, and if he has 87 or so then I prob am gonna get repopped. This being early in the tourney I also like the call due to you getting to see what he check called the hand whole hand with and then leads out. At this point you dont even know if he is capable of making a check call floating the entire way only to fire out at the river.

    I am suspecting that his play in hand 2 has lot of do with what you decided to do on the first hand.
