Sharkscope the guy, he's a mug, and its not hard to see why.

I don't think you should be relying on "having a tight image" when it looks like level 1, I don't think any decent player will really have any opinions on anyone yet.... and stealing 60 chips when it looks like you have 90xBB is asking for trouble, and of very little value. 10 hands later villain was probably busted out the tourney anyway, just think if you had any showdown value in the hand, you would be getting paid! Most likely someone else at the table would have exploited this donk based on the info gained in this hand and doubled through.....

I like it however not on a 964 board, he is c/ring too many draws to call, on a 843 J62 229 board etc its good.

A few questions Billy.

How many orbits has this game been going on for? I guess we're in level 2 so not many.

Are you sure that this guy's been watching the way you play? Is he sat next to you? If he is then maybe, if not then probably not.

Do you usually play tight? What will your stats shows if this guy has a HUD switched on?

What I'm getting at basically is are you sure that this guy knows that you're tight and will only play the nuts? If you are sure then it's a donk call by him. If not then it's justifiable.

You could easily be shoving with a draw making him think his K high is good. Also he could easily call with a draw that might surprise him when he finds out he's ahead anyway. If he calls with a draw you're never a big favourite as he has outs for hitting pairs as well.

Not the worse move ever but not the best timing.

Also like others have said, why do it this deep? You might as well wait until there's something worth stealing before getting in to this kind of funky situation.

How many orbits has this game been going on for? I guess we're in level 2 so not many.  Orbits  hmm not sure possibly 4 - 5 maybe more .

Are you sure that this guy's been watching the way you play? Is he sat next to you? If he is then maybe, if not then probably not.  Well I gave him credits  for having some savvy by the way he was playing people off pots and showing ridic bluffs, He would call any raise and go quite mental on the flop,  i made my stack from a set that held 3 way. I have been paid off with Kk early and i didnt show many more I think in total i have played 4 -5 pots at most.

Do you usually play tight? What will your stats shows if this guy has a HUD switched on?  Stats!  lol I wish i could get a poker addon to work for me.  I honestly cant answer this one

To be honest mate if this is the case then the guy's best avoided.

If there's a nutter on the table sometimes it's best to just fall in to place and let him take charge for a while. There's a long way to go yet and at some point you will pick up something better than J5 with which to do battle.

I went through a stage of making these kind of bluffs. You know the ones where in all likelyhood you are drawing dead. If you're going to war with this guy at least have some kind of gut shot or even bottom pair that could turn in to 2 pair. Anything to give a glimmer of hope if the bluff goes horribly wrong.

Call or raise him pre with some suited connectors then make your stand with either a pair or a gutshot with backdoor flush or something like that. Shoving with J5 here you were lucky to be in such good shape.

Yes his call was bad but you've already described him as a nutter so it's nice to have a bit of backup in case he calls with K high.

The bastard!!!!!!
