bump. Let me add that the better has been betting and raising almost every pot.

looks fine to me if he is raising a lot, even if you think he will call, he could be calling with a FD, AJ, KJ or even A8 if he is playing loose and think he has odds.

I like the line b/c there are a lot of potential hands we could be beating.
