tricky little hand

ChipLdr

Note: Villian is super loose with a 90% preflop investment over 100 odd hands. He raises 40% of the time usually with any two cards. He tends to fold when he's missed the flop but on occasion can bluff totally with Zilch.

Don't open limp with any hands, A8o is especially bad. Now you say this player is super-loose and prone to bluff so you must call his all-in on the turn. I don't like your limp call preflop though. You should cut that out of your game.

Id call the turn but more importantly every action taken so far has been incorrect - I can forsee your reasoning but its still bad

Chip this hand is bad from start to finish.

Because hes super loose and bluffs, so some of the time he is bluffing/semi bluffing and some of the time he is value betting a worse hand.

yeah, I hadnt read that part when I posted.

However, I fold here cos this usually is not a bluff, even if he is super loose and bluffs.

perhaps i should of added more info about the villian. He calls EVERY reraise!!!!! The only reraise he does not call is an all in. I have made the mistake countless times of building big pots by reraising with AK and AQ and missing the board and he has mopped these pots up with absolute rags.

This guy has shown down 94 72 62 T3 and all of them have been preflop raises and he got ridiculously lucky.

I would never ever even call A8 but against this opponent i know A8 is well ahead of his range.

The way i see it i'm very unlucky to be behind to a 5 here and from playing with him for 1 1/2 hrs i dont feel he has an over pair. So my only worry is 67 here which is a strong possibilitity.
