You're saying you would've called a brick? Yah why not - looks like the sort of idiot who will valuebluff himself with a busted Q high gutshot.

Just to clarify are you laughing at yourself or me for saying the obvious? If it's the latter I don't blame you.

Anyway it looks like such an easy call and yet I feel as though my lifetime calls in that spot have been unprofitable (maybe selective memory)? I dunno I hate those hands.

I don't get the preflop raise against a player with maniacal stats. He is overagressive, the weapon that should be used against overagression is passivity not more agression.

the point is to play a bigger pot with advantages in both position and skill.
