call AI?

[BIGandRICH]

firstly i must set the scene for you.. Cue ball 66 is a mate of mine, and was my first poker coach, teaching me all the basic concepts of hand selection, pot odds.. etc. etc. He'd asked me to come play with him just for fun... We could easily handle who was at the table, so we were dealing with them as we needed to whilst pushing each other around. I had been doing alot of raising with junk and continuation betting. We had been pushing each other off quite a few pots, whilst both holding junk.

This was the second time he'd put me AI at the flop, and 3rd time he'd done it at the table.

he played me pretty damn well, and i got very lucky. Looking back i dont think i wouldve called it from anyone else.. i didnt really even think about what he could have, just assumed he was as full of shit we both had been for the last while... he read me like a damn book, he says to me before the hand is out.. "lol AQ not good enough mate"/color]

Without looking at results, I'll say this and hope I don't look like a retard. The fact that he keeps pushing you around means that a majority of the time he comes over the top he doesn't have better than top pair. Technically it becomes +EV to call his push here with best TP kicker, since the majority of the time you have him beat.

I call this, since you guys are playing ultra lagg at each other. He's basically earned a high pocket payoff by taking so many risks against you.

I agree with Rondavu.
