Re: Hand from Borgata WPT
It was professor plum in the library with the rusty spoon (always my favorite Clue weapon since it is so useless.)
It really sucks that Aruba has such crappy internet or I would just ask Alan.
As for the hand itself given your description I don't think he is angling or you would have given us more info to reach that conclusion.
With stacks this deep and vs. unknowns limpers opening ranges are really tight especially vs. this type of villain probably something like TT+ AQ+ maybe even tighter. The check back flop raise turn is usually a really huge line, but given I don't think he is angling with AA or KK (I guess he could be genuine and wanted to slow play one more street) and that QJ is unlikely given preflop. I would call the flop and check reeavlaute a river. Definitely fold and ace or king river, definitely get it in on an 8 river. Probably check fold J/Q rivers just because I don't think this guy will be able to vbet any worse hands on that scary a river and it's a pretty complex bluff if he is making one.
It doesn't have much to do with stack sizes if he shoves the turn and loses. He is still 200bbs deep in a really deep structure and it isn't something he would be so cryptic about imo.
