Opponent is a preflop calling station 78 percent VpIp and manically aggressive postflop check raising and reraising with junk and chases every draw. I get quite irritated when players like this win big pots off me. I really thought he was on a flush draw and trying to make a move. Specifically with the short amount of time you have to make decisions in online cash games what is the one question you ask yourself that would save you?

Ok.. Ok.. Note: Remember the pocket 6's that did the same thing to you
and remember how I said 77's are a top 10 pre-flop hand. Temember playing a cannon he can have anything.

He could have easily had 2 pair.. the re-raise he made should have actually made you think(this isn't the case always even with me).. Then you re-raised him again.. All your stack? That is my only question.

Then lets also say the loose cannon was holding ace,6 and out draws you anyway. To think I bet aggresive :)

oh I am aggressive alright! Especially in rings but I also only play less than 20 percent of the hands I am dealt. Which means when I make mistakes the mistakes are expensive. You won't get me to agree that small-mid pairs are playable against substantial preflop raises because of this hand though.... I got what I wanted preflop, headsup against a substantial dog, I really thought he was making a move. I was wrong he got lucky and I just didn't see it. At best I figured him to have ace7 but I guessed draw and I guessed wrong. Still have an 86 percent win rate with kings in rings but when I lose with em I LOSE ;)
