Re: DERB

He is not just loose and aggressive, he is also a calling station. I played a hand with him where someone raised in EP, 2 cold called and he 3 bet AJo. I capped out of the SB. I bet every street and the final board was 94259. He overcalled the river. Are you saying that this is indicative of some higher level postflop strategy of which I am not aware? That same day he called 2 bets cold in his BB in a 3 way pot with QTo against a 3 bettor who only raised 10 percent of his hands and the original raiser who raises 12. Could even Ray Zee churn a profit with QTo in this scenario, much less someone who pays off in the most obvious laydown situations? The simple answer is no, of course not.

No one is arguing that he plays every hand in a +EV way, only that he is (maybe) a winning player overall.
You don't have to line up on one side or the other here, it isn't necessarily that he made this play with AJ for metagame reasons if he really is a 3bb/100 player, or that he automatically sucks because he had a 0% chance of winning this hand. It's certainly possible that he wins despite horrible leaks. His win rate doesn't have to be 3bb/100 or something in the negative. It's possible that the guy is somewhere close to break even.
