Marginal hands are fun
An assortment of light calldowns, and thin value bets:
Thoughts?
1) Villian is LA preflop SLA post (40/20/1). While he's not crazy aggro post flop I figure he's that type that will keep firing when called, and will calldown marginal stuff. I know, I could have CR'd flop or maybe donked turn, but sometimes I'll just rope a dope here. Playing passive OOP IMO isn't the worst thing in the world against a guy who will keep firing.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4c, 4d.
1 fold, MP raises, 2 folds, Hero calls.
Flop: (4.33 SB) 6c, Jh, 6d (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.
Turn: (3.16 BB) 2s (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.
River: (5.16 BB) Qd (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 7.16 BB
2) Villian bluffs often enough and is fairly LA (48/15/1.5). Turn could be a bet against draws, I'm not worried about the 8 but I think villian is capable of bluff raising this. I hate putting myself in spots like this where I hate folding and hate calling down UI just as much, hence I check behind figuring I'll pickup a river bluff often enough (hoping he doesn't hit).

3) Villian is LP preflop, and a wild and unpredictable bluffing machine postflop. 70/1/1.2 (I know it doesn't look that aggressive post flop, but this guy is in virtually every pot and he goes to SD in most of them). This guy's a hero for trying to get people off of any type of hand.
