Re: Monster Hand, Fishy Game

This is what my first instinct was and I really was fairly suspicious of him being on a stone bluff (why didn't he C/R the turn?). But the problem is, what hands does he call a big raise with? Realize that after he bets $100, the pot has nearly $350 so a pot-size raise forces him to part with nearly all his chips. Keep the comments coming, they are very good. I am also intereted on thoughts about the flop and turn.

the more i study this hand, the more i think he backdoored his way into two pair. i think the flop raise was fine. turn you need to raise more to at least get an idea of where you are. all the betting seems fairly normal until the river when he makes a small bet proportionally into the pot.
on the river, it depends on what your goals are. is your goal to control the size of the pot? if so, call down. if you are trying to build the pot b/c you believe you have the best hand, then you have to raise in that spot. if it pot commits him, it pot commits him.
i could be completely wrong though.
