Wait, you're saying he can't have a spade draw because you have one? I don't understand this statement.

Big semi-bluffs are for opponents with a fold button.

what am i supposed to be aggressive with? I have tightened up my PF game big time and have learned alot on here about c-betting and how to gain value and pot odds and has made a huge difference in my game. However, at micro stakes it just seems lately like this stuff doesn't count for anything against these fish.

described villain seems like the type to let far too many pots get out of control big with air, so spots where we have the opportunity to shove with a butt ton of outs when it's less than likely that he has a good hand aren't uncommon against described villain.

it just so happens that villain prolly has something here, and shoving is unnecessary any to play the hand in a profitable manner, so this just isn't one of those spots.

i typed this very quickly, and i'm like half asleep btw, so i reserve the right to revise anything i said because i don't feel like rereading this post :P
