Cross-posted from SS forum.

Any different play I could have made? Re-raise preflop to isolate?

MP2 is 95/25/1.94

Great googly-moogly! How many hands is that over? This guy isn't a LAG he's something nuttier than something very nutty, indeed!

And, by the way, nice table selection.

I think you're fine just calling preflop. If an overcard flops and any opponent besides Mr. Peanut stays in, you'd have to get out. The way it played worked perfectly for you. Then you slowed down, because, after all, 88 isn't AA. Were you planning to check-raise the river? (Edit: I ask, because I would probably have bet-called the river.)

Nice hand. I hope you won.

I think I'd cap this flop versus this particular villain. We're ahead someone like this a good deal of the time, and have outs to improve if we aren't.

Not sure how many hands on villain at the time, but now that I'v left the table, I've got 109 hands on him with 94.5/25.9/1.79. Before I left the table I told the guy I loved him.

He wasn't all there was, there was also a 55/35/1.2 player and a 65/5/0.3 player.

Bet-calling was my intended plan of action, so I have no idea why I ended up checking. Perhaps I became distracted or got scared of variance. idunno.
