nice. the tilt factor plus your seemingly +FE makes this a good play!

Dude was 3betting at least once every orbit. This was like the 4th time he 3bet me, and I had folded the first 3 trashy hands.
I figured the 4bet would fold out most midpairs, and I didn't mind taking a flip.
Anyways, he didn't 3bet me again.

I don't have much experience at 2/4, but uconn raised UTG and I reraised UTG+1 pretty big(made it big b/c of his style), and he called and ended up showing down J8s..

Does he just completely disregard preflop play and try to outplay everyone postflop?

He also bluffed huge every time I checked to him twice, although I am sure some mucked hands may have been huge value bets as well

edit: I am not critisizing his play at all by the way I am just wondering why he does this?

I'm also more pissed than anything about this hand b/c wtf why do I have to be a huge dog in any pot I play in if the guy is 35+/25+

That's too funny...I always thought that was a picture of a young Mike Tyson in your avatar.

I hear that almost every day actually. Usually people are like "Main, you look a lot like tyson, anyone ever tell u that?"

My standard response is: "What, you think all black people look the same?" or
"racist ban"

I always thought that avatar was you. Your city said Seoul so I convinced myself the eyes were kind of slanted, like you were half black half asian. I was actually dissapointed when I found out it wasnt your picture (idky) [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].

Never thought it was tyson though...

[the_main]

Someone should ressurect the old pictures thread. I posted one there, but have tonnes of pics on my blog. I'm a pasty white guy, but I actually am living in Seoul.

Don't play uconnsports hu, he took 4 buyins from me like 2 months ago. I do play pretty badly hu though so if you're good then go ahead, but I'm sure there are better targets.
