Default Hand 1 of 2 vs same guy

Hi,

Here's a 5/10 NL hand I played on Party today. I don't have vast stores of mined data, so I'm working on the 100 hands or so that this guy has been at the table. Villain is like 24/24 over that sample. He's reraising pre fairly often, and I haven't taken a stand at all. He hadn't seemed to be targeting me, but he's reraised me off my hand twice in like 5 hands, and this was the third time. I think he's had something decent, since my image is not that of a folder. He has 2000 and I cover.

6 max, 2 folds, I raise to 35 with KK, button calls, he makes it 115 (same as always) from the SB, I reraise to 350, 1 fold, he thinks for not very long and calls. Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , check, I bet 350 (because I'm dumb) he pushes, I fold.

I know this looks fairly straightforward, but here's the thing: I really doubt he has AA or QQ. Because of the recent past, he's gonna put in that 3rd raise with both (esp AA), I think. JJ OOP with a double stack, he probably calls. AK, I honestly think he'd reraise. So, I'm not all that convinced I'm actually beaten here. Still, it seems impossible to find out for a cheap enough cost. Any thoughts? This hand was dull, probably, but it sets the stage for hand 2. Thanks.

People just call here with AA/AK (and even moreso with QQ out of fear of turning their hand into a bluff) waaaay too often for this to be at all close to a call.

If he's been pushing you off hands a lot recently, maybe he thought you were fighting back preflop with a marginal hand, and he wanted to bomb you on a flop with a hand like AK, AQ, or AA, QQ, JJ. I don't think it's unreasonable for him to adjust his play a bit if he thinks that you are getting restless with his aggressiveness in order to trap you

Are the stacks 1k?

And you already put in 700?

Folding here is terrible IMO. He couldnt easily have diamonds.

I often justify these folds by saying to myself "if he has the balls to do this, he deserves the pot".
