I really don't like your line. You think AQ or AJ is going to go apeshit on this flop?

I don't like donking. You'll get some calls from Ax type hands and draws, but it's such a small pot I wouldn't worry about protecting it.

Not saying I'd fold, just that you're over representing your hand.

PF is really bad

You seem to have some big leaks PF from the last few HH's I've seen. This is why stats don't always tell the whole story, as a quick glance at your PT stats could prove otherwise.

Also, this is why I LOVE minraising/2.5x'ing the button, I see ridiculously bad calls like this from TAGGs all day long. They start playing a wide/easily-dominatied/reverse-implied-odds range against me Out of Position. It's so secksy.

I just said that I felt stats could/can/will lie, so you could look like the best player in the world on your stats but I know from 2 HH's that you have major PF leaks and you're missing a few key points of basic poker theory.
