Hand 1 he donks 3 out of 3 hands and this is 4th time. This means he does not have an all in hand most of the time.
Given the pot was multiway, i call flop with the intention to isolate him and to play for a big pot. (tiny outs 3xA and backdoor flush)
I know he does not get to showdown with trash, especially if i put pressure on him.
On river decided that a smaller bet looks stronger than shoving.
PS: i had no idea what i was representing, which is bad, but the spot seemed perfect at that time. A straight is easy to represent but a set... i wonder if i can flat call flop with a set?

Hand 2. i wanted to isolate him and 2x was the way to go since it works at that table.
On flop it gets messy. He did raise a few flops before so... i cant fold vs him, at least not on flop.
On turn he made a 50% bet so i crunched my teeth and called, even though the first plan was to fold turn, the bet size made me think he does not have Q.
The river messed my hand so i had to bluff. Decided all in would not work better than a smaller size.

Yes, i should not Cbet flop vs him. Now i think that was a big mistake since i dont have good postflop expectation.
In the game i thought he gave up and i'll take the pot on flop.
