 redgrape is obviously aggro, makes some spewy bluff sometimes, but hasn't got out of line at this table as far as I can tell. Obviously from looking on this fourm I can tell he makes a lot of big bluffs. My hand is pretty face up on the table.

PokerStars Game #8244732396: Hold'em No Limit ($0.50/$1.00) - 2007/02/02 - 14:47:10 (ET)
Table 'Angetenar' 6-max Seat #6 is the button
Seat 1: WuBJJ ($193.25 in chips)
Seat 2: boostNslide ($113.65 in chips)
Seat 3: "IT" ($111.90 in chips)
Seat 4: ivvaen ($101.50 in chips)
Seat 5: mexxex ($114.90 in chips)
Seat 6: redgrape ($257.95 in chips)
WuBJJ: posts small blind $0.50

"IT": folds
ivvaen: folds

I'd fold, but then tilt and go to war with you.
No seriously though, why are we checking the flop? Lots of cards hit the turn that we don't like, and I don't think we have the balls to CR this holding OOP.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

 His hand is terribly underrepped and obvious... He's letting skinsfan do this.
skinsfan's hand does kind of look like a Q though. Although the river bet looks bluffy since he'd probably value bet a Q.

 snap fold

nice bluff if it s a bluff
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

either bluff or

redgrape stayed in with something like QJs(and puts boost on 88-JJ) or had something like A5s and is trying to make this look like a bluff.

 dunno why (I put you on a hand), just a feeling

seems like one of those shoves that are supposed to look like bluffs

If you think he has AK/1010 you don't need to bet this much to get him to fold. You know he knows that, so you shove, etc...

edit : granted he has AK/1010 here very rarely. Dunno why I just feel like you have AA at worst here
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

 If you know his chances of him calling any type of bet are the same then your EV increases with the size of your bet.

Sounds obvious after I type it but I think boots is as willing to call this as he would a small value bet.
