After 55 hands this player was 50/15 and had a tot aggression of 5. The one thing I hadn't seen him do was check raise. What's your line?

Im trying to figure what UTG will limp UTG with and not re-pop your raise. I wanna say push doesnt look that bad but you arent beating much here.

This may be a flush draw but I think this will depend on a read.

He is insanely aggressive over the 55 hands and I don't think a check raise means anything special. I would push here too and expect to be beating lower pocket pairs, an 8 or flush draw, maybe even straight draw + overs (but I doubt that one). A nine is certainly possible but you can't think like a nit vs these people.

So if we expect to get reraised here most of the time what is our line? I hate calling and check folding the turn.

You start to think that way though when they have had the goods 3-4 times in a row and you are spinning your wheels over 7K hands.

I'm starting to think at least at the .5/.10 level at FTP this sort of a play is a classic "weak = strong". It's odd though, the very next hand someone could go all in on the flop with overcards.

I think at this there is a strange mix of people trying to clear a bonus play tight and waiting for the nuts and the idiots who are looking to give their money away. Also the fish like me who always seems to make the right move at the wrong time or the wrong move at the right time.

yes, but we are human. I'm not saying it is good poker, just that it's hard to not start to thinking like "Man that CAN'T have it again" and start making bad calls.

Raise to half a dollar PF. Bet closer to the pot on the flop and push over his raise.
