Let me give you a little background info on villain. He has played 250ish HUSNGs, 200 of them are 5 or 10 dollar games. More than half of the rest are 20 and 30 dollar regular speed games as well.
Once in awhile villain loses a 5 and tilts. He then plays higher and higher until he wins a match. The first night (the night of the Q4 I won above) he had lost a 5, 10, 30, 100 and then the 200 to me. He then lost a 500 and 1k before winning a 2k and stopping.
He had already lost a 5, 10, 30 and 100 when I sat with him in this 200.
He was extremely weak tight the first night I played him, and when I saw the match prior to this (his 100 loss) he seemed equally weak tight. He seems to be opening up a little bit and becoming more passive in this game. It seems like there was a pattern to what he did previously, almost like a robot was playing, but he's either being put in some new spots or he's opening up leading up towards this hand. I weight it to the latter heavily. Regardless I feel very strongly that villain overvalues a wide range of hands.
So what do you do in this spot and why? Any other questions about villain are welcome or my play on any other street, thoughts, etc.
I'll weigh in with results down the line.
Also I know some people know about this hand, so if you do please keep results out of the thread, but your comments about your view on villain are certainly welcome.
