2 turn CRs from LAG
8/16 8 handed
V is MA LA hispanic Male. I have played 4 sessions of 8/16, he has been in 3 of them. The first one he lost 3-4 racks and left. Second one he racked off a few but then started hitting and had a decent stack when I left.
In this session he lost a few racks but was coming back again. I have seen him CR the flop with second and bottom pair, and CR the turn with an underpair in one hand and a FD and GS SD in another. He had been creating all the action at the table straddling frequently, raising/limping in Ep with hands like K6o and Q7o. He also like to talk during hands, always saying 'pair the board' or 'high hand' or 'how many hearts?' and other comments I just ignore.
I would like feedback on my 3! and the action.

In general I hate calling two big bets in spots like this, and think it is usually wrong to do so, but if villain really is as you say and regularly check-raises the turn with very weak hands, then you have to call down.
But this is only for hands in which it is heads up at the time of the decision. Be careful if someone else is calling the raise, because these sorts of hands are much less likely to beat two opponents.
Without giving away results 😉 ... did his cr in hand1 influence your actions in hand2?
