Hand #1: Dealt JJ in LP at a tight cash 1-2 table. Raise from MP to 6. I raise to 18 and the blinds fold. Pot is about $40. Flop is T65 rainbow. He bets like $18 and I raise POT/All-in for another $60. He goes into the tank and get this... CALLS with 86o?!?! Um, thanks for $70 bucks?
Hand #2: 5 hours later in the Hoy. Tight 7 handed table, folded to me in MP and see JJ. Make a 2xBB raise, and everyone folds except the blinds. (Big blind is the chip leader with 4 times every one's stack size). Flop is T65 with 2 clubs. blinds check and I bet 2/3rds the pot. The chip leader simply pushes all in. Effectively betting $2000 into a $600 pot and putting me all in with an overpair. Even though I would normally fold here, I called. He shows 56s and takes me out.
I figured he was pushing with the T of clubs and maybe another club for Top pair with a flush redraw. Thus, even though it would be a very marginal call, I am a favorite. Except it wasn't TP with a draw, it was a blatant attempt to felt me. So obvious in fact, that I discounted it because of hand #1.
Funny?

I was the one that had the Tc7c for top pair and flush redraw!
NEMESIS
and you FOLDED?
if you STAY in that hand, I could easily fold!!!
I called your post flop bet and I was still in the hand when you called the all in. I called your bet to run you down but was not willing to call the shove despite prospect of personally sending you to rail ;)
For your peace of mind... you won a lot more on the cash hand than you lost at the Mookie! I don't think there's any reason for regret as you would've hand to have strong reasoning to fold an overpaid in that spot. I don't see how you get away from it myself, as I would've put villian on (Bayne's) top pair + flush draw.
