Curious about this play...

"Dumb" is a super loose aggressive player with no method other than massive steals on scare cards. He'd had a couple big pots won on real hands, but of the suckout variety. He'd also taken 3-4 pots from me in the session after donk-calling down my 2/3 to full pot-sized bets and then betting big when flush/str8 hits the board on the river.

I'd been looking for an opportunity to bust him, and I was 75% sure he was on a flush draw. I made up my mind on the river I was calling a good sized bet, but the AI seemed way to excessive to warrant the respect... Tilt call, or good play?

 Good call. I would suspect something if he were value betting, but his bet screams I don't want a call. Of course, when I lag it up, I do the same thing he did with a real hand because I know I will get the call.

I think that read makes for a call. Not many hands are ahead of you, and as mentioned, I think almost all of them value bet.
