What is this? I've experienced this at NL50 as well (i'm sure there are much fishes @ NL100 too, for sure), so, these kind of beats just beg me to learn harder and take their money.

His play is truly interesting :) I would really want to know what he was thinking. Raise, reraise, 2 calls preflop. Multiway pot with 4 players, ~3/4 pot bet on ace high board on flop. He goes all in with gutshot giving you 5.1:1 odds to call... thats just brilliant.

I am interested in your play as well. Reraise with AQo?! Did you have any special reads, that made you make such move or is it standard play? Perhaps some coaches/other players could comment it. I am wondering if i am playing too tight as after raise i only call or even sometimes fold with AQo.

I've figured out that UTG minraise or raise to 3BB is usually a monster or a small-mid pocket pair. So, if UTG 4bets its an easy fold, if he calls, he plays for set value (usually). Plus I had a good position and the table had been quite loose lately. As you can see my 3bet was called by 3 players.

Perhaps this UTG stuff is a bit off, but thats the way I am thinking. (seems to work quite well).
