Very nice post Gild, appreciate the time you took to post it!

I think the play looks nice, but hand 38 I'm not too hot about. You will pretty much never get called by any hand you have beat and you will never get any value out of a high A, while getting stacked by all hands that call you.

So how about a check-raise all-in on that flop? It's a very good flop for you, and him being so aggressive I'd guess he figures you missed the flop most of the time and will bet out. That way you will actually get added value from hands that you do beat, while seeing the same results as now from the hands that beat you.

I've actually gotta run now, but I'll return if I think of something else.

Thanks again G!

In hand 38, there is 600 in the pot and I absolutely cannot afford to give a free card to a hand like KQ. He's smart enough to take the free card here and I can't allow that in a pot this big.
