there are lots of maniacs in and out at Stars mixed in with lots of familiar faces. There has also been a recent increase in foreign players (German I think?) I don't know if they just opened the door to a new region or offered them some sort of incentive/ bonus or what, but it is nice to have them at the tables

turn that into a two high card flop where you have a backdoor low to the A5 low and i like this better. your equity is actually usually quite bad here. the only hand you really would like to see is a set with no low going for them and then you are flipping. if he has a naked A2 and is willing to play with you for stacks you're a dog here. i mean no doubt you got the right idea here. i just think in this particular spot you aren't thinking enough about his range. this all of course assumes you didn't have some read that made you decide to play it this way. if the guy will get it in here with T349 and regularly does so well then ldo

The villain and I have been c-betting like 90% of flops when raised pre-flop. I have been stealing pots away from him prob 75% of the time when he does this when he's oop. He bets the flop I raise he folds. In this spot I really didn't mind calling as a slight dog just for the fact I didn't want him to start three betting me light and continue with his folding pattern. I'm a 60% favorite for the high with the hand he has here. Having the double gutter to go with my other draws I honestly didn't even hesitate to shove on him in this spot. Is my thinking flawed here?Scoop: 19.76% / villain scoops 31.46% Hi: 60.12% - HI 39.88%Lo: 18.05% - LO 51.1%EE: 0.441 - EE 0.559

but i can't fold the river either, can i?so since its an all in i just bet. he can maybe fold sometimes and call sometimes where i scoop him, both of which are great. we are usually splitting here and sometimes he will have a477. his raise preflop isnt the dumbest thing in the world, but (and this is a huge mistake that a lot of regs make at this limit although he isn't a reg) he fails to take into account who he is playing against. i do not call preflop raises and then check/fold missed flops. i call preflop raises and then minbet without looking at the flop into you and laugh while you sweat.in retrospect the whole hand is a very good way to toss my whole stack in on a very small edge. but, you got my number. thats how i play and i've made it work for me. how many river cards do i totally stack his ass on? high spades, a nine, a queen, and a ten. how often do you think he scoops me here? i would guess around 15% of the time. im cool with that. if you give him a range i wiped the floor with him on this hand.

I see and agree with your points. As far as the bolded. I'll make sure to avoid sitting at your table you big mean bully!

Wow..... You never hesitate to push the action and get it in light if necessary do you? I don't like this guy's raise preflop. I know he has position, but A477 with the A not suited? I don't know what to think about your river bet either. I read what you stated b4 the post, but it just seems like an extremely weird spot to value bet especially if you know as you say he's really never folding on this river.
