Whenever we see our opponent do something noteworthy we remember it, the question is what do we do with it? Here is a particular villain I went up against and the history I've seen with him beforehand in a 1/2 game. Assume effective stacks are all $1000.
1) Villain limps JJ on the button, SB raises $25, villain 3bet jams $800.
2) Villain limps AJs in MP, BTN raises $45, villain 3bet jams $1000.
3) Villain calls $25 raise with KQo. Flop QJ5, villain check-raises allin for $1000.
4) Villain limps CO, BTN raises $25, villain calls. Flop T22, villain check-raises $200 and barrels turn. Shows down T5s and loses.
5) Villain raises KK $25, cbets KTTr flop and gets raised. He hems and haws and gives a speech, then just calls. He check calls turn when his opponent jams. I think this is a key hand since it indicates he slowplays the nuts.
On to the hand --
Villain limps CO, BTN raises $25 w/AQo, villain calls. Flop QT4r. Villain checks, BTN cbets $75, villain snap raises $500.
Is this a snap call? Snap shove even? Villain seems to grossly overplay hands. I dont know if he thinks he's protecting against something or thinks these are value bets or what. He slowplayed the nuts before, but can a player like this feel the need to protect a set on a flop like this?
