    Default Microstakes but still interesting...did I read this wrong?

    Had just sat down at the table so had no read. I thought he was chasing and then overbet to cover himself. If he had a pocket pair I had it covered but then to be not only calling but raising with a draw? I was stunned.

    With the way he played the flop I put in on either on the nut flush draw or a PP as well. I think you read the hand ok, and played pretty good on the flop. However my feeling is when you bet .20 on the turn and he min raises you fold. I may be over thinking this but I see this a lot at the $5NL level. When people get on flush draws or open enders they play pretty agg. Thats my take on this hand.

    Funny thing is I never even considered a flush. I put him on a high pocket pair or even 66/77 trying to draw to a full house. And then when he overbet the river I assumed he was trying to buy it.

    After that hand I watched for about 50 and he was a very aggressive player, buying lots of pots by overbetting smaller stacks and raising with pretty much anything. Problem with players like that is that they are so unpredictable.
