I called, he showed A5 for the boat. I did not expect he would play that ragged of an ace, but he made some money off of it. I am confused as how to properly play against this guy -- he can make some crazy calls preflop, but then he gets paid off when he hits something like this. It's really hard to put him on a hand post-flop (Gus Hansenish?). He took another big pot off of someone when he called a preflop raise with 57 and hit it big. He plays aggressive early in the night (And usually takes the donk's money early doing so), and if he builds a big stack he will make loose calls preflop to try to stack someone and generally play very aggressive. He is good at reading situations postflop and it is hard to get him to go too far with a hand. I typically loosen my raising/reraising standards preflop against him, and sometimes I just plain raise more against him preflop, but are there some other ways I can punish this style of play?
