    Default I hope to pick off a bluff

    This one is super tough for me, and with my reads I think you may have to agree. I have 1000 hands on this guy, a shit load of reads. He's 14/11/3.14, he threebets light to me a lot (probably has PT) and will be tricky with it. He knows I'm aggro and willing to shell out a bluff. Here's a spot where I expect this guy to check the turn with for me to make a bluff, but he doesn't. He doesn't even slow down. But then again he's comitted anyway. If this was a bigger push it would make it a lot easier. Do you look him up?

    I think he plays 88-QQ like this. I see a lot of people pushing PP when the overcard hits.
    PSU Class of 2011 weeeeeeee!

    You think he calls a flop push with overs? 99/88 maybe. I think your line is better, at least you get value from AQ or air.

    Looks like a bigger overpair or AK to me from his guy, given stats and AF.

    You have any HH where he bluffed you big like this (in a big pot) when you went to showdown?

    IMO I think you or your brother or both are huge calling stations who should work on playing solid poker instead of making heroic calls and fancy plays.

    considering the stack-sizes and villain's propensity for light 3-betting vs you it's prob more +ev to push flop if you're not folding this hand on the turn since at 50bb (after villain's c bet) it's worth defending at this point.

    As played, it's kinda meh. I never think it's terrible to go to war with marginal holdings when you have lots of history vs a villain...

    What do you think he puts you on though? Does he think you'll fold, putting him on AK?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    You're right, a lot of times I make really dumb calls, It's really retarded. I've worked on stopping spewing for the past 2 months. I still do it obv, but not even close to as much as I used to.
