Too much action?

He caps every hand when he gets reraised. saw him capping with KQ, A9, K9 etc.

Is my line ok, or is this too much action with just TP GK against this guy.

depends on what kind of action he gives after the flop and what he does it with. i don't like all the check raising though. i'd either cap the flop and lead or just start donking.

I think the flop play is fine. You could donk/3bet, but I don't think it matters much. You are trying to put in more than one bet on this flop, versus this player.

On the turn, I think check-raising is too frisky. With the flop action, I would probably donk/call, though check/calling is possible. Since he caps A9, I think donking the turn is better. When you are beat, you don't pay 3 bets to find out. Since he raised UTG, I might give him a bit more respect. AK/AQ/AJ still beat you, and his flop play tells you the ace doesn't worry him much. I think you should still feel good enough to donk/call turn and then check/call the river if you are raised on the turn.

Certainly, you want to maximize your profit versus a player that seems to spew a lot. I think it depends on whether he's reraising KQ on flops and turns like this one. He can be a spewtard but still realize that you probably have a good ace after the flop action. That's why I'd like to put in 2 bets max on the turn. His stats don't mean that he never gets dealt AK/AQ.

I would just call down from the turn. You're hand is face up at that point basically so you're just hoping he's spewing. Wait for more than this to get this guy unless it's a multiway pot.

I didn't like c/r on turn. When he has AJ+, it's just going to cost too much. When he doesn't have a better hand, he may well just check behind. If he was on draw, it sucks. He's probably going to realize you had at least TP on the flop.

Hopefully you should know a bit about how he plays postflop. This might be fine depending on just how crazy he is.

in a vacuum, this hand sucks, but depending on your opponent, it's good.

For instance, if you were playing against chuck on AP, then capping the turn, and bet/calling the river is probably the best line.

You were at the table, so just go with the read you have.
