This guy was 60/20/4.0 BUT it's over 10 hands
However, he's already 3b someone and looks really aggressive
I think he never has a flush on the turn because I think he would raise a flush draw and I can rep a really wide value range
of course if he's a mouthbreather that doesn't matter and he calls with anything

Good or should I wait for a hand?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($428.40)
BB ($87.80)
UTG ($200)
MP ($571.95)
CO ($200)
Hero (Button) ($200)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, 8
3 folds, Hero bets $5, 1 fold, BB calls $3

Flop: ($11) 2, 9, 5 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7, BB calls $7

Turn: ($25) 5 (2 players)
BB bets $25, Hero raises to $188 (All-In), BB has like $50 to call

I really hate this, if he is mad aggro (but obv we are unsure) I don't think we could even get him to fold 9x here.
and if he is a mouth breather then he isn't folding anything and will just think your making a move.

Plus when he lead pots the turn urgh I feel we have 0% fold equity here.

lol wow, I was going to post to say don't do it because more often than not they'll turn out to be a fish and call you with any pair and/or the lone A. Looks like he's capable of even thinner calldowns than that.

soooo..

1) you think he might be a fish and try bluffing him?
2) he POTS it into you (showing as much strength as he can) on a card that legitimately hits him, and you still try bluffing him
3) you jam against the fish with NO equity even when called?

I think the pot sized bet on turn is a fairly good giveaway about the FE you have v's an unknown.
Just playing to improve.

I don't think that's true, he did show up with a really weak hand and he tanked forever before calling

his line actually looks really bluffy, which is why I thought "he's full of shit" but of course I just own myself by trying to bluff fish
