OK. CO is a LAG player that I have played with plenty of times. He seems to be on tilt after I exchanged a few words with him. I watched him play someone last night and he was getting owned and the guy that was beating him just kept needling him and I notice the CO go on tilt. So I tried it.Here's a hand that happened with him.I get delt KJo in the BB.CO opens, SB folds, I 3-bet, CO caps.Flop: J ,5 ,8 I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he caps.Turn: K I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he caps.river: Q I check, he checks.I win. No clue what he had.Then this hand came up.5/10 (5 handed)Preflop: I get delt Q ,2 CO opens, SB folds, I call.Flop: 3 ,2 ,T I check, CO bets, I raise, CO 3-bets, I call.Look OK?

First hand looks like you busted his Ace King or pocket aces. Shouldn't you be able to see what he mucked though in the hand history (to prevent collusion, I thought almost all major sites had that).Second hand, if you are playing to put salt in this player's wounds, I think you are definately on the right track, but shouldn't you be 3-betting it pre-flop? :wink:

If you really want to tilt him, cap that flop.

A stupid question from a needs-to-get-better-at-heads-up player (and thus a good time for my new sig):Do you commonly bet out with top pair, but c/r with bottom pair? Or were you just varying your play here? (Obviously you can't do the same thing every time when heads up, but if you're trying to use the KJ hand to set up this one, I'm not clear why you don't bet out this time.)

Yeah, if he's tilting as badly as you say he is, he missed that flop pretty badly, but you really need to improve to take full advantage of him

I switch it up. Im assuming I C/r weaker hands on the flop 65% of the time and strong hands 35% of the time.

That's what I was thinking.Turn: A I check, CO bets, I call.?

i love the play in the second hand. when that ace shows though you have to be a little worried as he could of raised with ace anything. i think the fact that you could send him on perma tilt by taking this down with deuces is well worth the risk.

Cool.River:5 I check, he bets, I call.He shows 42o for the BD straight.

This is the perfect situation to show your Q2, and make sure he knows that he's terrible, and that you're significantly better than he is, and that you were ahead until his backdoor pussy-straight bailed him out. Then say something stupid like, "Well played, c ockmonger." Hands like this are so awesomely gratifying. Ice
