check call: his most likely hand is a pocket pair under the queen I think.

But you think he will bet with those hands? I think those hands are most lilely but I expect them to check behind if I check.

at 10-25, antonio will be VERY play happy. lead at the pot for something like 550 and call the push. i think that is without a doubt the most profitable way to play this hand. he could have anything and will look at the Ks on the river as a PERFECT scare card to take you off the hand. lead 550 call the shove. holla

I think he's more likely to be on 44-99 here. I like c/c turn, then value bet river, or c/c if you think he'll push over you/fire again if you check. Basically a small value bet is best on river, just tougher if he reads you as weak and raises.

Antonio is definitely aggro enough to bluff with 88 here

He might be agro enough, but I doubt he's stupid enough.

he is the most aggressive player I've ever played against, if he thinks hero often has JJ-99 he won't hesitate to fire

For people saying bet/call a shove, what hands do you think he's shoving as a bluff? Is he going to turn mid PPs into bluffs? Does he ever have < 2 pair here? Honest questions.. I have no idea.

i think you should be thinking about bet/call as well as c/f, but you need a have a very good read on the flow of the game/his frequencies for bluffing like that during the specific session. meaning without a great read on him, i'd be c/f, although there would be a small % of the time i'm bet/calling.

Are you never bet/folding?

nah, if i bet, he's not going to call w/worse usually, he'd sense that he might not be good and either fold or shove as a bluff, so if i'm going to be betting it's because i think his bluffing frequency is high enough where i'll stack him there when he shoves, enough of the time at least, to make it +EV
