Message: [QUOTE="NootNoot, post: 6879344, member: 1031651"] Hi, thanks for the response. I had a few bits of info wrong in the orginal post as it had been a few days since I'd played the hand, I clarified it in an updated post. Not that it necessarilly makes it any better! Villain had been raising ridiculous amounts often in the 25 hands they had been at the table. That was the biggest raise of all and came on the back of them doubling up. They were at VPIP 86.36, PFR 59.09. I'd seen raises of 2BB, 10BB, 15BB (3 times), 20BB (2 times), 35BB and 50BB in unopened or unraised pots. Unless they were running extremely hot it appeared that they had a very wide range for raising and kept raising huge. I overlimped to try and keep them in, fearing they might actually fold for once if I raised pre. Also a little case of what's the point in raising if I'm just going to fold to their oversized 3 bet which was likely going to come anyway? That was the first time I've seen anyone quite that crazy! My reasoning for jamming was that I thought I'd be ahead of their overall raising range from what I had seen so far. I know it was a big gamble which is why I posted the hand. Obviously we should adjust to our opponents, but the question in a way was how far do we take that? That was a hugely ridiculous deviation from how I'd normally play agasinst a hugely ridiculous opponent. I'd never normally consider playing like that if I had no previous hands on the player or if someone did that randomly having played conventionally prior to that. I was extremely uncomfortable doing it but in a way it seemed to make sense considering how far out of line the villain was getting. I'm unsure though. It also begs the question of how to play vs. like someone like that? On average I'd be waiting 100+ hands to see AA or KK to finally look them up, do we let them have the blinds for that many hands in a row, hope someone else stacks them before that and they leave, or just leave ourselves if we're unsure as to how to combat this? Is that wasted oppurtunity if we do? Do we loosen our all-in range at all? If so, by how much? AA and KK isn't my the extent of my normal all-in range, just an example. AQo isn't usually in there though, happy to share that. I saw it as an extremely rare set of circumtances. It turned out I was right about their range but even so it left me feeling very unsure.
