Big fish with a big stack. Is this ok or am I spewing? Fish is 33.3/12 over 40+ hands and likes calling with Ax, especially suited. Did I mention he's a calling station and almost always checks the river with the nuts?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 Don't bet with nothing just because he sucks.. make a hand THEN make him pay for it. And the second hand, well that's just hilarious :P

Ask yourself why the turn card gives you more fold equity in hand one. If the answer is "it doesn't", or "Not much", you should be saving the heavy artillary for Granny Nitnap.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Thanks Jack & Ron, much appreciated. I read Jack's comment about waiting for a hand and it eventually happened. He doubled me up and I almost stacked him a few hands later. Too bad FTP doesn't have buddy list functionality. I'd love to play more hands against a player that I've studied so well.
I have lots of notes on him, how he bets, how much he bets, etc. This fish has so many tells I can't wait to play him again

Up 3 buy ins but I could've made more if it weren't for some leaks I need to plug.

This is a lesson well worth learning. I still do the same thing now and again. Only yesterday I found myself stacking off with TPWK against a complete fish, now who does that make the fish, the idiot who doesn't know how to play or the fool who calls down a 60/5 without the goods, knowing with a bit of patience it's money in the bank?

hes not folding that turn in hand 1 if he called the flop. and bet more than half pot if you were going to.
also this would be a good spot to check behind the flop vs this guy.
