The last time I played there I got stacked when I made a big raise with pocket Queens and an aggro guy called with a crap hand, but got lucky and hit two pair.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-21617848895784933262017-05-08T18:49:04.803-07:002017-05-08T18:49:04.803-07:00Thanks, John.

You may call him an aggro maniac but to me he is playing an aggressive style with high variance. If he raises and people fold he steals pots without a showdown. Until someone stands up to him he makes money. If you call him and he is behind the on the flop unless you bet he can still hit something. I have seen this guy surrender many times if he reads you for a better hand. When you bet he folds and you do not get paid off your premium hands. This guy is tough to play against because he is always putting people to the test. In my card room this guy is always re raising pots and unless wait for good cards you are going to get blown off a lot of hands. edh530https://www.blogger.com/profile/17350460500843652702noreply@blogger.com
