Only 4th hand or so at the table and villain seems bad. Previous hand he raised AJ from UTG+1 and lost half a buyin+ calling down with 2nd pair. Probably is tilted.

CO ($456.30)
Hero ($406)
SB ($477.90)
BB ($569.80)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 7.
UTG calls $4, 2 folds, Hero raises to $20, 2 folds, UTG calls $16.

Flop: ($46) A, A, 5 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $36, UTG raises to $104, Hero raises to $386,

Why are you trying to bluff a guy who is tilting? He will always get stacked with any pair here in his mood because he thinks you would slowplay an ace and convinces himself that you are bluffing.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

slowplay an ace? lol who does that at 2/4?

i think its alright/he doesnt stack off with crap worse than Ax, but its probably reliant on non-vacuum EV (destroying your image, putting stone cold bluffs in your range) to be good, which means i would only do this if there are a bunch of regs at the table.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

if he is probably tilted, and just got caught playing a medium strength hand from behind, i almost never think he would change it up and play an ace fast here. id expect him to have 55 more often than an ace in this spot. i dont mind it at all, though I would like to have some kind of equity just in case ... but we can't always get what we want can we.

good spot imo.

I am not saying it is a bad spot to bluff (it is good actually), just that if he is tilted, it is a bad spot.

yeah this is good. i think he is way more likely to be limping w/ small pp's and sc's than Ax.

also as far as tilting goes. i think that players make bad plays on both sides of the spectrum. i.e. they make bad bet/calls, and sometimes they also make bad lay downs.

Yeah I thought about this. rdegs and polyballer were at the table I think and I need to shake off my nitty image with the better regs.
