MP2 has VP$IP over %50. No reads on UTG and CO. Comments appreciated, particularly on when to slow down.

Any other reads on MP other than preflop. Does he continue the flop absolutely maniacally. Against a reasonable opponent this is a fold on the turn I think. I have a sinking feeling your nemesis flopped a straight here.

I think you played this hand fine. it's hard not to spray chips in this situation.

looks good, its tough to cap the turn with just AA here, and you're never ever ever ever goign to fold here.

He definately hadnt stood out postflop, so I guess he was more passive than anything. But I think its safe to assume anyone with a greater than 50 VP takes most of their hands too far no matter the circumstances.
