A hand

"in big pots against unpredictable opponents when holding mediocre hands, I think the best line is to get to showdown as cheaply as possibly."

perfect.

Given your description of your opponent, you cannot fold. I would have checked behind on the river if given the opportunity.

I honestly think he's charging you with a mid ace, thinking you'd only cap with a pair/AK, and he possibly even spiked twopr on the river.

However other people make a good point, LAGgy he can be doing this with 77 or a flush draw too, so I think you have to pay it off.

Plus the fact that if you're tight predictable you most likely aren't raising this turn without an ace.

I think you played it fine. It's ugly, and i'm sorry it didn't work out, but I don't see a better line vs this player.

how do you expect us to answer this question when the reason why you called him was based on a history you had between each other and based on a feel you had for him?

THis is a situational hand. Very good... adjustment.
