FWIW I shouldn’t have 3-bet this guy pre-flop because he rarely calls but often 4-bets and KQs isn’t quite so good that I’m happy about 3-bet-calling it (although I did after remembering who this guy was).

His flop shove is atrocious because he’s so often drawing slim to dead when called. Check-raising his underbet is very important. Although he probably will fold sometimes, there’s no way he makes a bet like that without expecting me to play back at a fair bit of the time. That means that he’s sometimes trying to induce with some big hand (a set, perhaps) and also that he’ll float and/or rebluff it. Although I have blockers to his rebluffing range, we can see that he’s willing to be quite liberal about it.
man his shove is sooooo bad.
always nice getting in over 100 bbs with 100% equity 🙂

Sorry – sometimes I can’t help myself.
Lol good catch, I think they’ll still let the villain claim this one on his taxes though.
One of the few benefits of playing more PLO and FLO8 than is good for one’s psychological well-being is that one eventually gets in the habit of looking for possible straight flush draws.
Getting all my money in and losing to runner-runner perfect is one of the few things that hasn’t happened to me in poker. I’m pretty sure I did once flop quads and lose to runner-runner higher quads, but if I’m even remembering that correctly, the money didn’t all go in before Villain improved.
You’re still young.
