I had been Playing for a few hours and I think I had about $400 in front of me. A new player sits down and I know him to be very active, and very aggressive. Unfortunately he is sitting to my immediate left. After about 4 Orbits while in the big blind, I witness this player straddle, and in every hand he straddled, no matter how many calls, he got he would raise to $25. Usually he would win Pre-flop, he never tabled any of the straddle hands.
On the fifth Orbit I was in the Big blind and he straddled. Everyone folds to the button. The button calls the straddle. I look down at . As Predicted the Straddle Raised to $25. The Button folds (I guess he wasn't paying attention) and I re-raise to $100.
"I guess you have a pretty good hand."
"Naw, I just saw you do this the last four times you straddle and I don't think you got it"
Straddle tanks for a bit and goes all in.
I snap call. He shows
My hand holds up.
Was this a bit reckless? Should I have played this in a more straight forward manor? I don't know what was on the board.
