Hi all. Any advice?
There is one player that I come up against that I do not know how to handle. He is a notorious flush and straight chaser but also a hell of a bluffer. He will stay in pots without the correct drawing odds hoping to hit, usually on the river. But he will also play hoping for a bluffing opportunity, even with no hand, ie if a flush or straight card falls, he'll go all in. Sometimes he'll have it, other times he won't.
How do you read such a player?

When you have a flush or straight draw yourself, play it aggressive. When you hit your flush or straight, he'll go all in. Bust him a couple times and see how he likes it. You see, the problem is you're allowing him to put you OFF the draw. This allows him to represent it with reckless abandon. Disguise your draw to make it more difficult for him to confidently use it against you. If you catch him this way a couple times, he'll think twice about repping it when he doesn't have it. What will happen is a larger percentage of time he pushes, he'll actually have it. If he doesn't a couple times it doesn't matter, because busting him occassionally makes up for the smaller pots you folded the best hand to his bogus representation.
Oh ya, and make sure when you hit a made hand you act overdramatically afraid of the coordinated board. Say stuff like "Oh shit, 3 hearts", or "Wow, what a scary board". Lmao. I'm just kidding don't do that.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
