i just caught this line, it doesnt make sense
to clarify, at this point in the match, i was ready to play a big hand w/ any two - didn't really matter which ones - to get him to slow down against me. not out of frustration, just as an indication that he should give me a little more consideration. the previous big pot i played against him was pretty much a standard monster line (the KKK vs. 444 hand) so i went for the CR allin because I had him on an ace.

if you were going to make a play on him like this for these reasons, how would you approach the hand? give no value to your first two cards and go from there. what would be a good line to give him w/ any two, in a general sense? i can tell this player is going to be at a lot of my tables and i need to spend some time and money on image with him i think. that will ultimately prove to be worthwhile against this guy, because it seems as though we're going to be fighting over the other stacks at the tables.
