An exercise in spew.

[Eeegah]

MP isn't here to play poker. He's here to gambooooooooooool. He thinks A6o and K2o be raising hands, as is 22 in the big blind. In fact the only thing he hasn't raised in 6 hands is 76o. Oddly enough he then quiets down postflop, but will always see a showdown. He's already lost a 10BB buyin, and seems intent on losing another. I intend to facilitate...

...but this raise might not be the best way to do it. I'm trying to force other jacks out of my hand just in case I spike a ten (unlikely but not impossible), as well as someone who may have me reverse dominated if I spike an A or J, something like that. Then again, they look like they're not going anywhere. I doubt the villain has anything here, but you never know. I'm pretty sure the preflop cap is kosher given my read, and the flop is standard. Looking back this turn may be spew; anyone agree?
