the blinds are where most players spew there chips,be it sb v bb or calling a lp raiser and being oop for the rest of the hand.
I like villains approach here as i like to limp in from the sb when only up against the bb especially if they are aggressive defenders [ego thing mostly or have a notion that they are getting bullied all the time]
He didnt see me aggressively defending my BB too much
If you have any history with him coprey at all in blind v blind and he has been raising every other time then i"d check and peel here.
Check and peel normally works for me against agressive players, for some reason I decided I didnt wanna play a flop with this guy
I don"t like your raise size if you are going to fold to a re-raise , you can get the same result by making it 5000,5500 and save a bb... have a plan when you raise..
Very good advice, this is what this experience has reaffirmed to me. A painful lesson is a learned lesson.
Everything indicates a big hand but i doubt it is every time,his range could be 77+ A8o+ Axs and seeming he is aggressive
KQs KJs - if i have someone to my left who i think sees monsters then this trick of posturing to look pot committed works a treat even though i know that i"ll fold to a re-raise... i do it sometimes when short stacked as well say 12bb and i std raise with total tripe ep knowing most see this as a big hand..oh and i fold if someone re-raises..
Are you talking about when you are SB v BB?
AJs in the bb is good to go as played after your raise and his re-raise there is 29000 out there , with 53000 back calling is not an option here [your stack size] so i favour a re-raise all in or fold , but as played with your read of him being aggressive -

My read is, this guy is slippery and aggressive, I want to avoid playing flops with him. I dont want to give him a chance of hitting a rag. My instinct and from what I have seen so far is that he would have raised with a strong hand. I therefore put him on a weak hand.

I agree I had to be more decisive at this point. Many thanks for your constructive response.

yep , i,m not saying villain here is doing this knowledgeably [repping a big hand by using his stack size/size of bet] to make you see monsters... i just used a short stack as an example to look pot committed but not  :) as here if i feel that my opponent can think or i"ve seen in previous plays them slowing down and getting cautious in hu situations when boards get scary then i"ll mentally note that this type of move may work..

coprey:
So you raise on SB against weak players on BB to represent a monster. Have I understood that?
