It's not easy staying sane and firing in $150 on a read when you're nearing tilt and can't find a "lock" hand to take his stack with. In the end, I think I played it as well as I could, and if I took too much time jonesing on the turn, so be it. I decided I was certain of my read, that it was ++EV to call.
I think you say it here, but not entirely sure you get it. Hopefully you do. The relative strength of your hand DOES change compared to who you're playing against. Also, it sounds like some of your concerns were tilt related. Maybe with a clear head this becomes more simple.



It is interesting that Wonderland talks about folding in a spot like this, so you're spot on that this is an example of where they're reacting to actions rather than actually considering ranges. Learning to beat guys like this is important.
