2/4 deepstacks w/ a tricky player

[elnino12]

Stars 2/4 NL, Hero has ~1000, Villain has ~750, I am seen as tight-aggressive and have shown down some strong hands recently. Villain is tricky, semi-loose, and very aggressive with position or when sensing weakness.

Folds around to Hero in MP1 with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Hero raises to $12, folds around to Villain in CO who calls, all others fold.

2 to the FLOP ($30): 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Hero leads out for $26, Villain raises to $60, Hero calls

TURN($150): J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Hero checks, Villain checks

RIVER($150): 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Hero checks, Villain bets $184, Hero?

Some might argue the preflop play is shaky, but as it is, should I have re-raised the flop, bet the turn, blocking bet the river (this is something I regret not doing)? What's your play on each street? Thanks in advance [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Make it $200 on the flop.

"Don't act like a pussy... "

Very insightful and informative. Maybe I should be more of a dick, but that role seems to already be taken...

my posts around here have been reduced to just one liners that aren't too funny, but does anyone else see the subtle humor in the above post? i laughed for a while.

You've gotta make the third raise on the flop, I think.

If no, I either blocking bet this river or committ to calling this bet against soros. Checking the turn is a very odd move and very out of character...I don't think I've ever seen him do this with any sort of made hand.

Soros it was, and I have never seen him do this either, which should've been even more reason to bet the river, but alas I blew it... I think he checked because he thought I might have AJd or JJ, and thought I might be trapping (since I had just done this and taken a large pot). Nevertheless, his turn check was extremely weak, since there are so many draws and he's got to bet them out with any real hand. Oh well...live to fight another hand.

Nino,

Its more fun to be to my right though. That way you can limp-reraise as often as you want.

I was amazed how often people continued to limp with that being their true intention, only to fold to my raising.

You need a blocker bet on the river. I'd say 1/3 the pot or so will do nicely.
