    I have seen him at the tables a few times but not long enough or enough hands to get a read on him. 1st hand pick up KK UTG and raise it. I h8 poker repops from the small blind and I re-raised. Flop comes all spades and I have the king of spades. He shoves the flop. I am 95% sure he has a bare ace of spades but could have AA or a set trying to protect his hand. Just want to know if you guys would make the same call here deep stacked if you had the same read as me.

    2nd hand is more troubling. I limped in the cutoff with Q9. I like to limp with hands here and on the button if I dont hit to then to try to take down pots on ragged flops. This time I hit 2 top 2 pair and get into a raising war with the same player again on a Q95 flop. When he 4 bet 55 ran through my mind and I should have folded but have seen too many guys at these levels overplay AQ, KQ, etc. I know when he makes the 4 bet if I just called or shoved all the chips would go in eventually. Thoughts?

    1st hand, move to bad beats

    2nd hand, plz fold preflop. at .25/.50 you can make a killing just playing solid poker, why mess around with garbage?

    I didnt open limp with it i limped in the cutoff. I pick up tons of blinds all the time on scary boards in position when noone hits and usually get a nice score when I do hit and they cant put me on a weird hand. This was one of the times I got caught with it. Trust me I dont limp UTG with it or call raises with it.

    I agree with this, however, if you raise the exact same thing is going to happen. You should fold preflop. But postflop play is just a cooler... Top 2 vs a set: there's many hands he goes in with that you beat.
