NL 1/2
Hero is at 190 or so. He does not know villain. Villain is an 30yo Asian male. He has 400. Hero has played with him for an hour. This is their third hand they've played. Hero has A
K
UTG. Hero makes it 10 to open. It folds around to villain in the BB who calls. This is a good game that got pretty tight aside from villain.
POT 21
Flop A
3
8
Villain checks. Hero bets 15. Villain reraises to 50. Normally, in my game, this is a set or 2 pair, but this fellow seems to make a habit of c/ring TP. Hero makes the call. Normally I do not here against the regs. I felt he had AQ and AJ and the guy didn't have a set.
POT 121
10
BB checks. Hero shoves for 130. Villain tanks. He looks very unhappy. He reluctantly calls and turns over A
K
Here is my question: Is this something more players do nowadays C/R with TP or TPTK? I never do it. I try to play small pots. Is this a good play he's making? I'm not sure if any one else noticed his habits or not. Is this a high-variance style he has or is Hero too much of 2005 guy who lacks vision? No way I'd call without a club. Hero's image is always nitty but this guy knows I regard him with a lot of suspicion.
