5NL-Two Hands-1-TP-good kicker & Mid Pair-2-Straight dra

[Sasquach991]

One of these I played badly and got lucky and the other I played well and got unlucky. Or I may have played both bad or well. You decide for me.

I also installed Pokertracker and will definitely buy it when the free trial runs out. Once I learn to use it better I'll post villian stats in later posts.

1-Villian is Lagg and had been stealing blinds in many hands. He got caught several times but that didn't stop him. Once he got caught, he would finish the hands, calling bets and raising and not even have a pair.

BB ($1.90)
UTG ($4.71)
MP ($3.46)
CO ($2.95)
Button ($0.46)
Hero (SB) ($9.87)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8, 8

Flop: ($3.07) 7, 5, 9 (4 players, 1 all-in)

I realize I may not should not have called here but I had 5 to 1 pot odds so I took a chance.

Turn: ($6.07) 6 Hero ???

Hand 1: shove turn
Hand 2: I usually check and hope to raise after trapping CO for a bet, but they usually check it down :/ I think leading is fine too

Hand 1: Don't know why I didn't shove. After looking at this it's obvious.

Hand 2: I led with$3 bet and all called.

So did I play both correctly except for the shove?
