2 Hands Within 3 Minutes

Both of these hands are against the same player and within a span of three minutes I lost just about 2/3 of my session's profits to this terrible, terrible player. The old me would've stayed and probably lost more, but after the first hand I clicked "sit out next big blind". I know I shouldn't have played the second (and final hand of the session). I still finished with a profit, but I would've finished with more.

In the first hand he calls with complete trash and hits. Here's that roughly 20% of the time where Aces lose...

Who calls a preflop raise with T6s?!? I expected something like KQ or QJ there. Especially given his bet sizes on the flop and the turn. I thought I was up against a worse full house. The only other hand that I would've guessed might've been A6, and there were only 4 possible combinations of that left on the flop, and 2 combos of that on the turn.

I think I played the next hand badly. Like I said, after the previous hand I already decided that I was done and sitting out (then quitting) when the blinds hit me. I also stupidly decided to play my last hand at the table, even though I normally wouldn't raise this hand in early position. Here the fish flat calls with a hand he should be 3betting with...

In retrospect, I really don't like my play in the second hand. I'm glad I stopped when I did, or I would've started playing more like this.

First mistake was raising pre. K8s is something you can raise in the CO or BTN, or if it folds around to you in the SB. Opening it UTG was bad. I really had hoped to take it down pre, and planned to fold to any 3bet pre.

On the flop, I check it back since even in position and checked to, I'm not about to bluff a fish on this board, which misses pretty much all of my range and hits his pretty hard.

On the turn, he leads out for the minimum and I decide to make a small raise to try and get him off of any flush draws, and partially for value, since I don't think he has a King too often here. My raise is too small though, 2/5 pot when it should've been at least 1/2 pot.

On the river: Given the board texture, folding is definitely an option, but calling the minbet is fine too. Raising was probably the worst option. I'm not getting better hands, and there are a lot of them out there, to fold ever.

If I could eliminate playing hands like the way I played the second one from my game, my winrate would be so much better.
