I don't get it, why do you try to bluff a retard, he's already a retard don't kill your edge by playing retarded yourself. This is a perfect example of a hand that should go into Jman's BLUFF article.

So street by street. What are we putting him on and how do we proceed?

I'm not really a fan of anything about the way you played this.

I raise flop a lot, best spot is to catch him sleeping on the driest board ever - if he calls I'm usually giving up. It's sort of useless to even try to put him on a range since his stats indicate he has no linear thinking what so ever. It's hard to put a range on thoughts that aren't structured.

Raising the flop is definitely an option. But I dont see how floating and raising a lot of turns can be that bad assuming he has nothing on the flop a huge % of the time.
Folding the flop cant be EVmax imo.

I've no idea what to put him on. So I'd prefer to preserve my stack for a better opportunity against a player who's apparently so bad.

Range doesn't matter because of stats, fold 9 high
