Should I have folded here?

[Dr_Doctr]

Hello everyone - this is my first post but I hope to post regularly enough. I've been playing for about a year. I only play online and had mostly been playing .50-1 limit but recently I switched to NL for a change. I've been playing $10 trying to get a feel for it and have put in about 50 hours and am doing well.

Here is a hand that I found confusing. Any advice would be appreciated. The villian in this hand seems to be an idiot. He hasn't been at the table long. He has open-raised all-in preflop on three occasions and showed AJ suited, AK offsuit and 99. On one other occasion he went all-in on the flop with top pair, jacks, and a 9 kicker and that time I folded my J10 (he showed that move also). Anyway, this hand develops. Should I have folded here and waited for a better spot? I think at the moment I should have but everyone was just waited to bust him and I wanted it to be me. This hand is from WPEX and I havn't been able to get it to work in any hand history converter. Villian is player 2.

I guess I put him on a weak ace or even a king since I checked the flop. Looking back on it, there wasn't much I could beat. I didn't have much information on this guy's play aside from that he was crazy. After this hand he immediately left the table with my $5 or so [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

A short piece of generic advice that you already basically spelled out in you post:

When setting up to bust the table donk - it is usally a good idea( but not always a must)to have a better hand than TPmehK. There are total air maniacs - this one at least had something behind his pushes.


Don't post results as it makes giving hand advice kind results oriented.

On a positive note though - it is nice that you set the hand up with examples of villains earlier play and your read on him.

Thanks Everlong - Yeah, looked like a fold - just needed confirmation. I'll remember not to post results also.
