20/40 CAZ versus 2+2er who doesn\'t know me
This hand occured within an hour of my arrival at the table. It was the only 20/40 going at this time (Sunday evening) which was especailly odd for those who know Casino AZ because there were 3 40/80 games going along with a 40/80 mix, but only one 20/40 game.
The villain in this hand is a poster on this very forum, and although we have played very little together in the 20/40 game, he has been 'crushing' it in the last two months. So while I don't have the best of reads on his play, he seems solid enough, and has been mostly folding since I arrived at the table. But he does have over 3 racks on the table, so unless he has been here all night, he is clearly up for the session.
And since I know he posts here, he must have a read on me. And oh what a read he has. Again, he doesn't know I post here, but in the hour I have been at the table, I have either raised or threebet approximately 8 out of 20 hands preflop so far. He has commented that I have been playing very aggressive preflop, and commented on my lack of showdowns (I have folded most of these hands on the flop, but they have all been 66+, KQ+, A9+).
Whew, finally on to the hand. Villain (2+2er) raised UTG in a currently 7 handed game (2 walkers). Folded around to me (very odd) on the button, and I threebet AKo. Blinds fold, and as the villain calls, he comments about "Flop me quads dealer").
The flop comes AT5, he checks, I bet, he check raises, and I call. At this point, given my read of him, I am deathly scared of TT, but also know that any ace should be worthy of a check raise by him. Turn comes a blank, and he bets, and I call. River comes an A, and he bets again.
The board is now AT5xA. He bets and I......
