Skwid - ya, definitely agree. I feel the same way. I think this guy was just trying to be friendly by showing me the QQ hand, but it’s a pretty big mistake to do that. I’m never against friendly conversation, but I’m there to play for xtra paycheques, not xtra friends.
Browni - I guess by ‘opposite of what seems like the proper play’ I mean making plays that are somewhat idiotic in theory in an attempt to level thinking players because the play makes very little sense with most hands. If I can take down pots like this OOP by betting less than 1/2 pot I should crush players like this whether I have it not. But I agree that whether it’s value or bluff, my sizing should be a bit bigger.
If this guy called turn, I almost definitely would of overbet jammed almost any river card to further polarize my play.
