This guy is decent, but far from spectacular, and not really tricky at all. Frankly, when he potted the river, I almost didn’t raise at all. After checking flop and turn, my raise is going to look REALLY strong, especially against a pot bet. But when he 3-bets, he pretty much has to have the nuts. No way he does that a set of 4’s or 5’s, and maybe he could do it with a big set, but even that is doubtful, and I’d be very surprised if he just calls with JJ+ pre-flop.
