So everyone agrees hand 3 was a cooler- you actually played it well with the 3bet iso- although it didn't work for you, you had a good plan and stuck to it.

Hand 1 I think is OK, so I disagree with Gustav... pocket pairs are good to flop big vs UTG opening range, and the fish on the BTN has pocket pairs as a proportionally low part of his range.  I think it's fine. :D

[B]So for hand #2 I have some thoughts/questions...  [/B]This will be a pretty typical spot versus this player so it's worth while to look at it.

Would you normally Cbet there?  Would you Cbet this player on this board normally (without the donk bet)?

I think if the answer is yes, you raise him.  I understand the principal of allowing him to bluff... but really?  This is a dryish board and V has a super wide range (again, wide ranges have lower amounts of pocket pairs proportionally) so I think you put in a raise.

You already established that this player is min-donking with air (some players do it with top pair +) so put him in a tough spot instead... even if he calls, he'll likely check the turn...

Also, what pair + hands of yours are flatting that min bet on the flop?  Really I think I'm only flat calling if I flopped quads or a house... (and against this player wth I'd probably bet!) even trip 8s I'd put in a raise, and I'm definitely raising with even under pairs for protection/value from draws.  In that way you let him know you are weak... although in principle this fish is a bad player, he's not completely stupid and there is [I]some[/I] logic to his bad strategy- i.e. the river bet with bottom pair!

I say raise flop, re-evaluate turn.
