I'm a station: Played a 128BB pot w/ ace high

[Episteme]

So, I know this is high variance and possibly marginal at best.

This villain had normal-ish stats (20/10 or something) but was calling me in position far far far more frequently than anyone else at the table. I beat him handily HU the day before, so I think maybe he just had it out for me or something.

Villain had floated me at least 8-10 times this session. When I checked the turn he bet it several times, and I always folded. I had seen him pot control and check the turn w/ second pair and top pair type hands too.

On the river his range is completely polarized btwn 9x, 33-22, or total air. Only thing that is kinda scary is him bluffing w/ like 44 or something (I really think he checks the turn w/ most of his 88-44 hands though).

I know I can win at poker and never make a play like this. But....what do you think of all this?

(kinda ironic that it says "Hero calls")

if he cant value bet thin (i.e. KJdd or something) then this can't be that bad.

I think it's very very marginal. But it's good for your image and b/c of that a call is fine.

[Black winter day]

Only because of the image thingy that might be ok.Otherwise i think it's pretty terrible.

What makes you think he doesn't have 99+?

[Jurrr]

I'd rather play back at him floating you by double barreling some other turns, stackadonking draws+good hands and check-folding flops instead of investing a cbet.

I don't think this is that bad, but it's very much a reverse implied odds situation and he could easily be bluffing with better.

You have added nothing to the discussion, DUCY?

[blankoblanco]

i like it yo. think it's consensus. as you say, he's floaty, his range is ridiculously polarized, and bluffing with better hands really unlikely how it was played. results? (MP with K high FTL?)
