The re raise on the flop is scary.
That would send alarm bells off. But I don't know how I get away from that hand.
Whilst the majority of the field is soft, I copped a real table of death in this event.
Caleb,
With this field and this type of play you have to have him on a marginal hand and he is set mining.
I can only see 2,2 or T,T here I am more inclined to go with the dueces. He has limped preflop, and he has proven that he knows how to raise with a hand, and then flatted a re raise from an OOP player. I put him on very small pockets here, or worst case scenario some royal cards or suited connectors.
I don't know if I can get away from your hand though, in a live environment I would need to extract more information via his limbic reactions. The re raise on the flop is what worries me most, the only hands I can see being played in this manner that you have beat are KJ, AJ, QJ or J9. I am even considering in true crown donk field fashion he has called with any two suited cards and hit a really shitty two pair when he shouldn't even be in the hand (this happened to me four times over two events thus far).
And after writing that I think I still get it in here and sigh heavily when I run into a cooler. Shake my opponents hand and then ask him to quietly DIAGF
