villain joins table with 50BB (i sit on some tables with random amounts between 50 and 100 BBs as i find it sometimes draws action from the odd randomer who maybe wants to avoid all the other fullstacked regs or maybe feels better sitting with someone close to what he wants to put on the table or better his case money)
so i havent seen him before or any hands on him so i can say he's prob not a reg.
he starts out standard TAGish but in the last 6 hands has 3 bet me 4 times!! i folded 3 times and now to this 4th 3bet i decide to flat. i think if i 4bet here it looks like i am deciding to start fighting back (in which case he may just fold his air) or that I now actually do have a big hand and as i dont want to lose him i opt for a flat (if i had an Ax hand i'd be just going for the 4b/get it in)
anyhow since i have only 18 hands to this point all i can say is he has been pretty aggro but not necessarily out of line post flop (but again it's so few hands). he seems to know how to value bet reasonably well. he has c/r me once and has folded to a second barrel on and A hi flop.....all pretty standard and no major reads we can make just yet. NOTE in a previous hand he Cbet the turn with 2nd pair to my missed flop cbet and ck'd (with the intention of calling presumably) the A on the river so he obv has some handreading skills and knows how to valuebet to some degree.
My river bet was for thin value and not to induce btw. My thinking was that on the river i think he rarely has much of a hand so my bet was for thin value thinking he could look me up with say a T or a small PP that he just tried to get SD with. What to we do when he CRAI and why (or comments generally)??
