I hesitated posting these because they are pretty standard or there wasn't enough information on villain to make accurate decision, but I thought I'd post it anyway. The game is 9 ring, and most people are very bad with one super fish, though the table isn't as weak as yesterday. Villain in first hand was much stronger player; loose by online microstakes standards, very tight-aggressive compared to people calling 3 bets with 86 off suit and shit. Guessing he who was a weaker online micros player at some point.
I have  in cutoff, with 60 bbs (was going to go home at end of orbit so didn't bother reloading). First 2 players fold, 3rd player raises to 5 bbs, 4th flats, hijack folds, I raise to 13bbs, then villain flats on button. The original raiser and the caller after him both fold. It should be noted here that I didn't really have a well-thought out way to play this hand... I knew I was going to commit on any flop that had no ace, but I wasn't sure what to do if the ace flops (my tiny PF 3-bet size made a commitment decision harder here post flop since...
Flop:   
Pot 34 bbs, E stack-size 47 bbs.
I cbet 15 bbs, because this person knows I've been very tight (and he's actually good enough to adjust his play against me), and knows my range has so many aces in it. He thinks for about 8 seconds then jams. I had very limited info here, but I thought for about 45 seconds, and called since I was getting 3 to 1. I think his range is crushing me here... I didn't think he would play QQ or KK this way, though I do think there was some unknown portion of his range he would induce bluff here since I lead out so weakly.
Here is a hand earlier in the that I probably played badly. I had some really small stack... 45 bbs I think. 8 players, mid position raises to 5 bbs, 1 mid position caller, I flat in cutoff with  . Dealer folds, big blind calls. So 4 going into the flop, I am in position.
Flop is   .
Pot is 20 bbs, E Stack-size 40 bbs.
I'm embarrassed to say I am forgetting how the action went... There are 2 extremely different possibilities. either:
a) utg bets 13 bbs, utg+1 calls, and then I jam. Or
b) first 2 players check, I bet 13 bbs, big blind jams, one of the other 2 players call and one folds, then I call.
Not sure if I like any part of my play here or not... I think flatting with T8s in a low stakes live game is questionable especially since I had no money in front of me (since most people are calling stations and a lot of the power of drawing hands comes from fold equity), and also flop just felt like I was paying people off, I dono. Maybe it's trivial since I was short stacked. Any thoughts?
