Villain is a huge whale. Rofling about playing 42/19 over 60 hands. OPR shows him as new to poker. Been doing all manner of weird and wonderful things. Has ran a couple of weird bluffs, I couldn"t remember sizing though. Seems very unlikely to ever fold a pair. A lunatic who is clearly loving the game - active in chat.

We have been warring a fair bit, my image is pretty snug though in comparison.

I think flop and turn are very standard. Bets pot on the river though... enough heart draws and lower houses to hero or fold?

dwh103:
Has he been raising plenty when mediocre showdown?

Seems a pretty big shift from check-calling turn to donking river. You"d think if he was slowplaying (which could include a Q in his mind) he"d check raise the turn - there"s no real difference in hand strength for a made hand which makes the gear change very suspicious.

So there"s enough draws and doubt in my mind to cross my fingers and call (outside of any ICM considerations).

He has donked all three streets.

He had seemed to slow down some what by the time it gets to the river in most pots previously. No ICM considerations needed - think it was about 50 spots off the money.

He c/c the turn.

I probably call off vs a player of this type and make a note
