I only remember seeing him play one hand, where had tanked for a long time against an aggro maniac who shoved all-in against his 3bet, where he eventually decided to call with AQo. (the aggro maniac/fish made a huge over-bet shove over his $75 to $400, $325 more to call in his stack).
Now this is the annoying part. CO calls, BTN calls. SB calls. BB calls. original limper calls. 6 way to the flop!
Flop comes 424, two spades on the board.
It checks around to me. The pot is $150. I decide with some draws out there, and 6 people in the pot, I don't really want a cascade calling effect here. I bet $100.
It folds around to the SB, who thinks for maybe 5 seconds before min-raising to $200. It folds around back to me. $100 more to call.
Hero?
First of all, in what universe is someone wh just turned 30 considered middle aged.
Second, shove on the turn. This is a guy who calls huge 3-bets with AQ. All of the pocket pairs, semibluffs, and A4 are in his range. So, you're likely ahead.
There is no move you can make on a later street that doesn't commit you to the pot. Also, there are only two cards in the deck that can improve your hand.
With no bets you can make, a hand that is likely good and unlikely to improve, get your value now.
