Both, a sick preflop call, and a sick float.... villian is obvi a spewtard. Get some notes on him....

fwiw - River shove is a FML fold imo. Which is why leading on the river is bad. I like to check/call on this river.

heart draw won't bluff and all aces always call.

a lot of players call hands with suited K or A. I will sometimes call in this situation if I have a three card straight and three card flush combined draw, and good implied odds. Ex. Kd6d on flop of 4d5hQs. If a 7, 3 or diamond come on the turn, where am I going? You can win a big pot with runner, runner situations. Really need good implied odds to chase in this situation.

you described some of my strategy to a tee...however, i don't think that applies here so much....

You said earlier that you thought all aces always call.

i meant never fold (was the same in my mind but you are correct to point out)


but he will sometimes raise hands like ak....i mean im not happy about calling and not against folding but really....he really has to have a back door flush and i can make laydowns on that assumptions. I will add for the debate (which this is supposed to be a bb but thats okay) ive been practicing loose aggressive play and cannot lay this down as im getting bluffed at or value bet at with worse constantly....
