I don't run into these guys very often, but when I do, I screw up big time. This guy is 55/45/3.5 through 60 hands. He has been raising/opening for 4 BB almost every hand. However, he seems to be playing smart. He c-bets 65% of the time and has only check-raised once. The main thing to do against these guys is value bet, right? Well, up to this hand, I hadn't played in a hand for 25 straight (no cards). I know I played this awful.

This call is suspect. I don't normally call here, but a couple of factors led me to call. One, he has been raising 50% preflop. Two, I haven't had any cards. Three, I'm on the button. Four, the rest of the table except for the MP has been tight.

His range is huge and I don't mind seeing another card. I will fold to aggression on turn if I don't hit.

He thought 20 seconds before calling my raise. Also, that is a weak turn bet by villain.
