Read on villain is that he's aggressive. I folded a whiffed AK, otherwise I've been inactive.

Thoughts on preflop call? I am all over the place here, between call, fold, and push. So I'm posting this...

Plans for postflop given a call?

I'm only playing 22s and 33s but I push preflop instead of being out of position for the rest of the hand.

Given ur call: Kinda tricky. I think I bet 200.

i'd push pre-flop and c/r a-i on the flop. an "aggressive" player is not going to call your resteal often after a CO raise, and it ducks the pain of playing oop.

once you see a flop, you can expect a cbet from a wide range of hands, so you win the pot often, and sometimes get it in against 8x or 9x. failing that, spike your 6-outer and laugh all the way to the bank.

Against an agressive player raising in late position, I'd probably push pre-flop.

Push preflop without batting an eyelash.
