So here's the story. I've played 2 hands in the last 4 or 5 orbits (AA and AK and just won the blinds and a limp or two both times, so I didn't see a flop and didn't show my hand.) Also, the table has tightened up CONSIDERABLY (only 15% players per flop) and I'm planning on leaving after one more orbit regardless if I get anything or not.
Everyone folds to the small blind who completes. I figure that with my "tight image" and the tight table, he'll probably fold preflop...he doesn't. So I c-bet and he calls again. I give up on the hand. He was kind enough to show at showdown even though I folded uncontested. He had 76o...what an idiot
Fortunately, I got AA (second time at the table!) two hands later and doubled up from this same fish ♦ ♦ ♦
Anyway, shouldn't this play be profitable over the long run, especially at a weak-tight table? I remember reading somewhere that Alaton raises the SB completor from the BB with any two...
Thanks,

Oh and BTW, I made plenty of notes on this player...when I got AA two hands later, he limp-called with A6o, bet into me OOP with bottom pair of 6s, then called my all-in raise
Good fish to have notes on ♦
