How badly can I get owned here?

[ShawnHoo]

Good live game in LA this weekend. Villain is a short late 30's black dude with eyeglasses and a Bluetooth -- you've probably seen/played with him if you've played in town during the past couple of years. He's decently tight/aggressive and reads hands okay, which makes him absolutely world-class in the current table lineup.

It's folded around to Villain in the CO (prob the first time this has happened all night) who raises. I defend my BB with 55.

Flop: KhThKd

I check, he checks.

Turn: 5h

I bet, he insta-raises. My line the rest of the way?

Insta 3 bomb his bluetooth ass and call down a 4. When the T pairs on the river be prepared to c/f and post it next to Howmany in the low content thread.

[Barry]

3-bet in rhythm, call down if 4-bet, unless you have a real good read, lead river if called.

You're ahead of everything but KK, TT and KT and that's not going to be the majority of his range. Much more likely he has a bare K or a flush.

I've seen a lot of gold teeth, but never a blue one...

Be a gentleman and hold the door open for him.

Yes, insist he rides it.

I know exactly who you're talking about, Shawn, and I couldn't have said it any better than Barry already did.

But this thread reminds me of a funny fives-full hand I played last night.

I open 55, one of the blinds calls.

Flop QQ5. He checks I bet he calls.
Turn 9. He checks I bet he calls.
River Q. He bets.

I cry and laugh and get ready to muck. But he's starting to squirm for some reason and I think I pick up a tell that he doesn't want me to call for some reason. So I show him my hand. The table groans around me. I say, "What are you sitting on over there, pocket sixes?" He says "Want me to show you?" So I say yes. He laughs and shakes his head. I decide maybe I should make a loose call here, so I do.

He taps the table and says "good call." Sweet! My spirits are lifted just long enough for him to then turn his hand over and say "You were right." And he has 66. I eat cyanide.

OK sorry for writing that in this thread.

I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about, too. If so, he plays pretty tight but angry. He likes to make fancy plays against people who have annoyed him. Have you been annoying him, Shawn?

If he thinks you're playing too aggressively he'll slow-play AK like this so he can stick it to your maniac ass on the big street. Go to three.

[BeakWetter]

I cannot see past the one line to take here...
Clear 3-Town, Call down if bumped again as you remind him that cell phones are not allowed at the tables.

[Barry]

BTW Shawn, I think that I have met most of the Commerce crowd, but I haven't met you. Perhaps we've been at the same table, but it would be nice to exchange hello's.

Gabe, Mike L, Andy and Joker know me. I played with Deuce once but I don't know if he remembers me as I didn't know it was him until later.

[HOWMANY]

3bet and if he 4bets call and hope that the river is a K or T so that you can save a bet.
