Hero?

 villain is tomthebomb32, i have him ~19/13 over 5k hands but that was mostly when he was buying in for $300, haven't played much with him since he started buying in full. he doesn't play well imo so his flat call pf isn't AA/KK everytime, in fact he tends to push those hands harder pf and likes to take flops with everything else...so anyway, what's the plan? note he only started the hand with $858 so not full stack if it makes any difference

As nitty as it sounds, and I agree with your take on him, I think I check-fold. But I am running horrid for December and my mind may be mush.

I don't like the 4 bet pre flop. Usually I would call and disguise the strength of my hand.

As played check.

i sometimes just call pf here too, thing is that tom likes to see lots of flops after he's put any $ in, so i figured he'd call with a wide range here pf

the completely crazy play i could suggest is open pushing.. the flat call of the 4-bet preflop from a nit like this really worries me obv.

Open push against this clown. He calls your 4-bet pre with all pairs. I like your preflop play vs. him.

ez check fold vs this clown.

Check/call flop, if he checks behind push turn.

Well I dont see why you would ever do anything other than check(betting will just fold all the hands you beat and theres no point worrying about protection w/ a stack

ot ratio like this) and then given a)your read that he has a widish range here, b)the fact this is a vry good spot for him to bluff(you've likely given up on a pf steal or have pp<AA) and c)he only has ~500 I think left in a 735 pot I think you gotta call a push to.

Btw I'm a pretty huge station recently so take all that w/ a pinch of salt.

I think I'd probably c/f like a wussy.
