villain ran 33/23/inf. he was very into bvb wars with me. he was also a gold star (proudly displayed on his avatar....haha fish). he had raised me on a bluff already and got me to fold my bottom pair i had two barreled on a sb steal of his bb when the turn completed a flush. he also 3bet my sb raise another time and 3barreled air. he had also seen me being aggressive in some strange spots against the fish at the table. he definitely played differently against ME than the rest of the table. so, i know he thinks, and i LOVE him playing me on a wide range. THIS GUY WAS FUN!!!

you may say the "complete" is weak, but i had raised the last 3 blinds and he never 3bet me. i felt if i only completed, he would raise me with a HUGE range and overplay it. its a gamble, but i was willing to take it for the sake of the battles we had waged.

i am afraid he folds to a c/r on the flop and i have the nut redraw so i sort of play it WA/WB or slowplay it...whichever you want to call it. you may even call it very bad. i'm ok with that, too.

anyway, here's the hand. i liked the yin and yang between us. what is his most likely holding???

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

3 folds, Hero calls, BB raises, Hero calls

Total pot: $8.50 (17 BB) | Rake: $0.40
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

i like a limp/reraise much better than limp/call
most of the time he'll think u're FOS and a huuuuge pot will develop
i guess i put him on any PP, good value unless he had the 9X!

If he had 9x, i am not surprised.

2 days ago i was dealt AK.....board was A55KT...
The huge aggro fish called my raise from BB with hand T5o.
The following hand against my AQ he caught straight flush on the turn with T9s.
In both cases i hit an Ace on the flop.

he showed QQ. i wondered, at the time, about capping the turn. any thoughts there?

Preflop: you limp, he raises, then you just call? He's showing you he likes his hand and he might like it enough to cap. Please please please 3 bet pf.

Flop: I'm raising/capping this close to 100% of the time. I don't want villian shutting down if a fourth spade hits. Chance of him having a made flush are smaller with the As in our hand.

Turn: If he's thinking about your hand at all (which he obv. isn't), he should be a bit worried when you raise the turn. The 3bet suggests he may just have AA beat. I probably play it the same.

River: I usually donk this, but otherwise i like it. He will show you TT-KK here waaaay more often than 9x.
