An interesting little altercation

what makes you exclude from his range the range of premium hands he's trying to represent?

His table image and my observations of hands he's shown down recently, my table image, and the dynamic between us.

That said, I am sure it was loose and risky to do so. I was right on this occasion though, but I am wary of allowing that to convince me that it was good play.

all valid observations. my point was that, although he probably is bluffing a resonable % of the time (preflop) he should, and will, still have the premium hands in his range. people don't play so black/white as to be either 100% "bluffing" or 100% "value". it could be as much as 10:1 in favour of bluffs, who knows. but he still has QQ+ in his range.
