No this isn't transparent at all. Who said it was? How else would you play it? He makes clear on every street that he likes his hand, you can get your stack in without raising. Life is good.

I posted the wrong hand up above...


first or second rotation and I limiped the SB

Villain raised to a PSB from BB,

I called with QJh

Flop was A 7 4 no suits

Villian bets 7, I check raised to 24, villian shoves, I folded after I reloaded back to $100

Felt like a good time to make a play as villian dones't have an A here alot of the time...

Thoughts???

FWIW, I don't like limp/calling preflop OOP with QJ. Raise it up if BB is tight.
