Observed hand...please comment

[KitCloudkicker]

Here's a hand that was played by a 10/20 player in my game last weekend. I thought it was rather interesting. Please comment on the line he took.

He's been playing very aggressively in this game, especially preflop. However, the other players have not adjusted to his aggression by 3 betting to isolate. Thus, when he raises, he almost always get 4-5 cold callers.

He has Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in UTG+1. UTG folds and UTG+1 open raises. He gets called in 3 places, plus the small blind.

The flop is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB checks, UTG+1 bets. He gets immediately raised by a MP player. The next guy folds, and the button 3 bets. The SB folds. UTG+1 calls the 3 bet, and MP calls.

The turn is the J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG+1 now bets with his top pair. MP calls, and the button raises again. UTG+1 calls and MP gives it up and folds.

The river is the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG+1 leads. Button thinks a moment and raises. UTG+1 3 bets.

Reads: Button and SB and BB (who's not in the hand) are the only TAG players at the table. Others are loose passive.


Comments on all streets played by UTG+1 appreciated.
