ummm probably, they confused me so was doing its job.

3-bet preflop. Standard. Check flop, id usually missed so checked back. This is where it gets odd. One on occassion i checked turn they check river so i bet, they raise. On the other occassion this happened on the turn.

Something ive never seen and confused the **** out of me i was literally getting to the stage the next time it happened i was calling river just to see lol.

so pot control yeah?

i just think it to deep to be going crazy with ace high, you got good equity but i would feel i can beat this guy easy and play some poker,

was he playing pretty much every hand and calling and 3betting your opens everytime? how did he play his button?

Pretty Aggressive, usually folded when i c-bet or check raised a flop. Would happily barrel away if i called down.

on the flop do you control?

My stategy changed. I decided not to play hands pre flop where im usually stronger than opponents i play, instead i decided to play away from my normal game and play flops. something i dont do very often.
