My thought is that once his railbird buddy reads this thread and relays it, he'll read you like your cards are face up next time.

i dont play against him much, and when I do, I really mixed up my play, maybe too much, so im not too worried.

By my previous post you know I am just again making the point that it's bad and -EV to discuss specific loose players in these forums. But in general, with any aggressive player, since you are probably willing to go to the felt with this hand if necessary and pray he's not full, you want to bet a smaller amount that looks like a blocking bet and is not too large that it can't get called by worse hands, but also that gives him leeway to playback with a worse hand and thus induce a bluff and gain even more when you are not in fact beat.

I like a bet anywhere between $475-$600. Hopefully this will induce him to raise with a hand that contains an Ace a six or any two diamonds.

thats not what you said in your previous post.

I never said he was loose (which he is), or bad (which post flop, he isnt at all.)

he is one of the best known players from the 1k, and now 2k party games, and his style of play is not run of the mill.

pretty much all the top players in here who play party have played against him, thus the name-dropping.

I think this might be a decent spot for a river check-raise. I think this could work for a number of reasons, most notably your opponent is known to be very aggressive, and checking could indicate to him that you are afraid of the straight allowing him to represent it or value bet. Anyone agree/disagree?

Did you win the hand? I have seen him raise with hands like 23,35 from late position. Wouldnt be surprised if he flopped a boat. Freaky...

I would check a lot of the time here.
