In a RUSH to make money

Firstly, thanks for all the pms I've received. I've had 5 or 6 enquiries for some free RUSH coaching and have a couple of sessions scheduled. Good to talk to Acombfosho on skype today, looking forward to hopefully helping you guys crush. 

As we move up stakes, just being able to value bet properly, make good folds and hand read a bit is not enough to have you smash it. Exploiting regs becomes really important. This hand could be maybe slightly spewy on the surface, but I had good reason for doing this. I have about 1600 hands on this reg. The reasons I made this move are as follows: His fold to 3 bet is 27% so he is calling super wide. More significantly, he raises the flop 22% of the time in a regular raised flop and 43% of the time in a 3bet pot. So his full of shit range is broad. When he raises on such a wet board, he probably is raising draws, pairs with any pair on the board and ace highs. He probably flats sets here to get more out of me on the turn and pairs like TT,JJ or QQ. There is $160 in the pot, he has $200 behind. I think he has a lot of air in his raising range so I have more than enough fold equity to make this a plus ev play. Even if he has some TT/ JJ/QQ, he is going to pretty much shit the bed when I reship. He snap folded, so I guess my read was solid. I think he is very rarely rasing for value and far more frequently as a bluff to levy fold equity and pick up the dead money.

Hopefully, this gives people a good idea of a solid hand reading thought process. It is worth saying that this guy is not a total spazz fish. I knew he would fold everything but sets and huge draws (fdraw with a straight draw or pair) Don't do this to the aggro fish who can't fold one pair and blame me!
