This is a VERY agressive opponent PT STATS vpip 40/ pfr 23
He reraised me about 5 hands in a row and I folded.
This I decided to call and he stacked me.

Okay of course I could have decided to fold preflop, although if i do call and flop this, I cant ever let it go right? i mean, my money has to go in after that flop i think

how about the preflop call.. is that acceptable? i mean, on my particular situation :/

r3 u post some interesting hands, but they are always in the form of bad beats. I wish you would post some without results, and with a more open mindset (i.e. what should hero do?, as opposed to hero must lose his stack etc.) That being said this was a standard hand (and call preflop vs. an aggro opponent). Unlucky hand.

Money needs to be in on the flop here. I know he had AA... but he's not getting away from AK on this board if you play it fast.

Are you check folding any 6 turn?

Your pre-flop play on this hand is retarded. You do not bust LAGs by calling 10% of your effective stack with a speculative hand that will often have to fold after the flop or bluff with little/no outs. If you feel that he is re-raising you light, pick a marginal hand and 3-bet him. But do not do what you did here, which is bad.

Of course, given the amount of money in the pot and your history with this opponent, it is unlikely that there will come a time in the hand at which you can fold after the flop. But this still reeks like a bad beat post and my contempt for you increased when I read it.

Your stratagy for beating LAG is bad. "3-bet" wtf are we playing Limit here? What if the lag pushes? why not just call, make TPTK and call down while lag tries to bluff on all streets?

You are a joke

Putting in a re-raise here is a 3-bet... many many people on this forum use this terminology.

Uh... you fold.

How exactly do you plan on making TPTK with A2s?

Besides.... most of the time, you don't flop anything, what then?

Spladle Master decided to bump every thread this guy has ever made. Can someone do something about it?
