    Without any history on your opponent: Just call down and watch him flip over a set or goofy straight with a pair of 4's or small suited connector --the CO has you beat with Aces at this point as well is my guess.

    I would've dumped it on the flop after it went raise-raise and you're not closing the action. Thinking ahead this hand could get super expensive on the turn and river if the raising war continues; no sense playing on.

    The range of hands I put him on:
    prelfop-- 10-10+ , AQ+ (unlikely on flop),
    on flop-- 55+
    On river-- 44,55,66,88,QQ,KK(unlikely),AA -- but i went ahead and called it down out of curiousity

    he flipped over 52os and had flopped 2-pair. My read was not even close

    4 hands later flop came 3-3-K. He bet, and I was much closer to his hand range. He got paid off by 3 players with...

    83os

    He apparently plays ATC and throws them away on flop if he doesn't hit. The cost of playing every hand vs profits in pots he wins with weird hands... he was overall up for the time I was at the table.

    Well, basically two more note-taking oportunities

    His strategy is a dud for what it's worth, since he's only going to hit two piar or better with those hands about 5% of the time, and there is no way he is winning 40BB pots. Average pot sive would have to be at least 25-30BB to even consider playing any two capped pre-flop.

    In limit, I see capped bet with high pocket vs high pocket, if not then its just fish being dumb (which I've also seen) I always cap with QQ KK AA PF in limit.

    "he flipped over 52os and had flopped 2-pair. My read was not even close"

    Simply mark him, note him like steve said an beat him in every other hand. He must be a true gambler. Always be aware and try to note them when you aren't in the pot too. If someone have made a mistake, just note it and you get a great advantage. GL!
