I see what you guys are saying about hand 2, but in this particular instance I think I played it right to get the most value out of him. I ruled out the diamond draw on hand 2, because that's just not how this player played in previous hands with me. Whenever he's thought he had the best hand he'd bet hard, and whenever he wasn't sure if he had the best hand he'd make very tiny probe bets. I didn't put him on diamonds because if he had had the chance at drawing to the nuts he'd of bet harder. These tiny bets made me think that he had a pocket pair that just didn't compete with mine, so I was trying to let him draw to a better one.

It ain't a play I'd make most of the time, but with this player it's a different story.
No, you made 50 cents off him after the flop while risking the 60 plus cents that was in pot already ( not even a pot sized bet ). Do you really think he was folding the Q's if you led out for a half pot sized bet? If so fine, you take the 60 cents and move on. You played this VERY bad and got lucky it still worked out.

Don't over think stuff at this level, hardly anyone you are playing is thinking at all. Get a good hand and BET,BET,BET.
