A little background info on villain... he isn't a regular but he's multitabling and seems decent enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a regular somewhere else, possibly full tilt. Just a guess because I have never seen him on stars before the other day.

Anyway, he's your typical agg type player, maybe 20/18ish. We really havn't gotten tangled up yet, but here's a hand he witnessed on another table:

Villain in this hand is mcnasty, and obviously river seems like an easy shove (and I agree), but I was very confident that he had Q9/Q8 a huge percentage of the time so I just called.

Other then this though, I think he has seen me play very aggressive but just short of spewy. I have some big stacks on other tables that I enjoy throwing around, but I usually have the goods in big pots.

Anyway, the hand in question...

I'm posting it because it's played so funny. It looks a lot how your typical small-stakes nit would play a set pretty much every time. Obviously we are both aware of this.

Advice on all 4 streets is welcome. I'll give a quick synopsis for what I'm thinking on each one, but please add your own because I'm looking for some creativity here.

preflop: not a whole lot to talk about here. Folding and 3-betting are both reasonable alternatives.

flop: meh, probably not the best hand to c/r with here, but it definitely looks cool. I'm way ahead of his range here obviously, but I'm probably setting myself up to win a lot of small pots and lose some big ones. I'm not sure how that works out in the end. Leading and c/c'ing are reasonable alternatives. When he bet/calls, his hand is still fairly well concealed, could be something like 88 or Jx or overpair or draw or set, who knows. I really doubt he's floating though.

turn&river: blind, reckless aggression. I think he'd shove a set or straight on the turn a good amount of the time, especially sets. I have no idea what I'm doing on the river really. It's a bit of a 2 way bet, he could call with worse or fold better, especially since he has to know that AJ is such a small part of my range. A lot of players will insta-check back all worse hands and it's hard to get to this river with air if your villain, so c/f is probably the best play. But shit, this looks cool as hell (especially if I get called by worse), and it's GREAT for metagame.
