We've played 25ish hands, and he's already dropped 1 buy-in. Villain is very loose/aggressive and has 3 bet me 4 times in just 25 hands. Has showed down two hands so far, J6s and J5o. He hit 6+flush draw on a q62- 2

board and called down to river without improving. I had the goods.

Hero(203.50)(BTN)
Villain(99)

Hero is dealt A

Pre:(3.00)
Hero raises to 6, Villain calls 5

Flop:(12.00)
2

Villain checks,Hero bets 12, Villain calls 12

Turn:(36.00)2

Villain bets 35, Hero ?

I would either fold it or call and then see what he does on the river. Obviously if you suck out its YAY and if he checks you can either check or bluff. I dont really see Villain leading turn and then checking the river here with a jack.

This being said, i dont think folding is a bad alternative because you can find so many better spots with a guy like this.

This can be a tough spot, if you had the best hand preflop.. then it stands to be the best hand now. I like a push here.

I say protect your stack and fold, but I don't hate a push, either. Especially if you don't think he'll hit and run on you. But for now I would think it was too early for the push. From your description, he'll hang himself later.

I don't like a push. He'll call w a J (or underpair?) and fold everything else. It makes him play perfect against us.

Anything wrong w call, call?

i think he can make this move with an under pair and you can call and bluff the river if he doesnt fire again. I dont see him checking the river with a jack.

i like call/call more than push. i think folding is fine though, unless hes an overaggro idiot as opposed to a regular idiot.

I thought his line seemed like an underpair, but I was going to pay him off.

Call/Call is the line I took because a raise would get him off of a worse hand.

Hero(203.50)(BTN)

Hero is dealt A

Pre:(3.00)
Hero raises to 6, Villain calls 5

Flop:(12.00)

Villain checks,Hero bets 12, Villain calls 12

Turn:(36.00)2

Villain bets 35, Hero calls 35

River:(106.00)T

Villain bets all-in 46, Hero calls 46

Villains shows 5

Hero shows A

Final Pot: 198.00

If this guy had a better image, I'd definitely fold. My real question is how often is this profitable to call down like this with ace high against aggro donks?
