usual game. Villain is a bad calling station that I've seen make terrible overcalls in the past but when he's facing a big decision, he's usually loose-passive and little on the weak side.
hand 1: He's probably sitting on $440. I have about $800.
Terrible player opens MP to $12, 2 caller, I call on button w/95  , villain is in the blinds.
Flop($60): 8 6 2 
villain leads for $20, folded to me. I take my time and call.
Turn:($100) 10 
Villain bets $45, i count out $45 and reraise $130.
Comments?
Hand 2:
Some other terrible player opens for $15, 1 callers, I call in the CO w/63o, button and 1 blind calls. Hero:$1000, same villain $350
Flop($75): J 6 6
checked to me, i bet $35, villain makes it $75. Folded back to me, I ask for a count. I put him all-in.

1) Nice agressive play, I have no problem with it
2) Probably would have played it the same.

hand 1, i think pot control on flop is paramout w/such a big draw. I don't want to risk my chips if this guy flopped two pair or set. By calling instead of raising big, i can keep the pot small, and semi-bluff the turn at a cheaper price. And by calling the flop, i can use the 10 as one my of "outs". Barry Greenstein mentions semi-bluff raise w/the flush draw because of its deception. I think that concept applies here.
hand 2: i'm afraid of spades on teh turn and a bigger six but a small raise like that doesn't seem like a big six. I also do this move w/over cards + flush draw and occasionally complete air so I sometimes i'll get a massive overcall from AJ or QQ. I prefer the 3-bet all-in on the flop, instead of a turn-checkraise allin, because i'm getting much better equity than, while on the turn where worse hands can easily fold.
