I had been playing this guy for an hour or two. He had some respect for me previously folding to my 3 bets and just overall staying out of my way. That was until i check raised bottom pair on a flop and rivered trips when he had Aces.Only reason i made that play was because of his nit status. Anyway i cracked his Aces and he called me an idiot> Then two orbits later this hand comes up.Villain was 15/4 or so but that number increased greatly once he started steaming and ended the session at 26/5PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)SB ($14.90)BB ($16.40)Hero ($84.60)MP ($25.60)Button ($25.70)Preflop: Hero is UTG with Jspade.gif, Jclub.gif. Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, SB raises to $2, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.Flop: ($4.25) Tspade.gif, 7diamond.gif, Tclub.gif(2 players)SB bets $2, Hero?I was kind of on the fence on how i should proceed. I felt I was ahead but still not sure how to approach it. Naturally raising seems obvious but what if we call. He is bound to be tilting and firing away. Does calling make this hand tougher once an over card comes? Better to define hand now or let him hang himself some?

I R/R pf and given your history and his stack size I'd be willing to get it all in if he comes over the top.
Hmm what is your logic with the allin preflop play? I understand our history but more often than not he will be holding overs here i think. Why not take a flop and get it in on the flop as a 3 to 1 favor or better(obviously not the line i took but just another way to think about it) and fold to aggression on an OVERS saturated board?

Villain will go away if he sees no overs and stick if he's beating us. We need to push the advantage when we have it. All that's assuming our JJ is ahead preflop.

I reraise with JJ here for a variety of reasons. It's 5 handed, so JJ is a monster PF, you have this guy slightly tilted, and his (almost) minraise doesn't define his hand too much to me. I don't want to get outplayed on a flop that contains an over that didn't hit him. If an over comes and he leads folding is too tight, so we will usually raise and be committed to his stack anyways.I'm just now working on being more aggressive preflop and 3-betting a lot lighter than I used to and I've liked the results a bit more. I'm just advocating playing your powerful hand for the power it has, pf. JJ shrinks up an awful lot once the flop comes and unless you built the pot up when you were likely ahead you can find yourself wrongly folding a lot on the flop. If he has QQ-AA and the over comes you saved a few bucks and I might play it that way if I didn't notice he had tilted, but because he is tilting and specifically at me, I want to give him the chance to shove in on me.

I'd put in a small reraise her prelfop to like $6-8. Fold if he pushes. Yeah you say this guys on tilt put look at his stats. Thats the most passive tilt i've ever seen. This guy hardly every raises, if he raises you twice I'd say your beat. As played I just call the flop simply because we can't stand a reraise. Probably fold the turn to a large bet. This guy is making small raises that look like they want a call. When was the last time you saw someone on tilt making small bets and raises with garbage? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say pretty much never.

Did you even look at the dudes stack? If your coming back over the top its going all in.

Okay missed that, never mind, still think hes got a big hand but the changes the way i play it. I always have a bad feeling about small raises out of the blinds, just call preflop, same line as i mentioned before after the flop. This guy is pretty passive no point blowing half a buy in cause we "think hes on tilt"
