Sitting at a table this morning playing a tight and aggressive game on stars and this one fella joins and I notice he imediately gets into the action and betting. First three hands after joining he is into the flops telling me he is a loose player. First hand I get into it with him he shows his aggressive tendencies.

Obviously bluffing, but still to early to execute a play on him even though I was probably still ahead at the turn.


Few hands later, again he is betting into me

Let this one go because I was out of position, and Kirin has yet to do a preflop raise since he sat down, seems like he likes to play the flop instead, so I let him take it down again.

Very next hand Kirin is at it again,

This time I had top pair and a gut shot I figured I would get a look at what he's betting with since no one up to this point has had a showdown with him. Sure enough, he was over playing his bottom pair.

Now if I can only get a solid hand on him... very next hand I get a strong draw hand. This time he was betting heavier than before, so I put him on at min Top pair, But having a flush draw and a gut shot I decided on the flop I would take him to the river, sure enough, land my gut shot, and took every chip in front of the lad...

Granted that last hand could have gone the other way just as easy, I figured even if I lost the hand on the river, I'd still get the guy by the time I had to leave for work.
