Last Sunday i was playing some 2/5 NL live and to my left was a aggressive and not very good player. However, Im sure he plays poker alot recreationally so he isnt a complete donk). He is kinda abrasive. and talks alot. Plus, he stacked me by calling a $250 little under pot sized allin bet on the turn with a bare OESD draw and hitting. So basically im not liking this guy too much.

About 20 hands after he stacked me, I am sitting back eating some chex mix and plain as day i see his cards.

He didnt cover his hand at all for some reason. All the other times he covered them to where i couldnt see. I guess he wasnt payin attention or something.

He is in the CO and he raises a couple limpers up to $35. I look down at OTB. (i had changed seats to be on his left). And i make a small raise up to $75 because i know his cards and want to isolate him. Everyone folds and villian calls.

FLop:

He checks, and i make a real small bet hoping for him to make a move or call with his overs and backdoor draw. I bet $40, he calls.

Turn:

He checks, I check cause i dont think he would call a bet

River:

He instantly leads for $100. I know i have the best hand so i just min-raise hoping he will bluff over the top of me. He asks how much i have behind, which was only about $250. And he folds.


Discuss....

In position, 69o is less dangerous with the blinds the 2 limpers to act than AJ. We get them to fold sooooo much for another $70 that isolating's fine, IMO. Obv, I wouldn't argue against folding, though. Figured Spank was having a little fun with the guy, so I didn't even mention it.
