For 200+ hands you should have some observations on villain.

The player with 200+ hands was BB. Villain was in the SB and 56 hands.

Meh -- not a huge misread and it makes no diff. to the hand.

b]Hero calls 59 BB

SB shows A♥ K♠ (Two Pair, Kings and Jacks)
(Pre 74%, Flop 2%, Turn 9%)
Hero shows A♣ J♥ (Three of a Kind, Jacks)
(Pre 26%, Flop 98%, Turn 91%)
Hero wins 186 BB

There is absolutely no sense in shoving here IMO.
Surely AK & AQ want to see a cheap showdown? A smaller bet around 30-40% might get looked up by AQ but no other pair calls. My betting could be A♦Q♦ checking the Turn for pot-control after a failed Flop semi-bluff.
After this hand villain calmed down a lot -- more an aggressive TAG --- so either he/she/it was on a run of cards or was looking to pick spots better.

Nitrol guessed right!

I knew it was Kx whether AK or KK and wanted to reserve both.

So what?
It is your minus to not take notes. Even for 50 hands you should observe. What did he show on showdown, how does he play postflop...
I am allowed to misread on the forum, but you are not allowed that while playing as you lose money.
You play nl2 and you should take notes as it is nice to start making it a habit from very early lvls . Some of these players you will face on the next limit as they progress too...

Never mind. I guess the irony of my comment is completely lost on you...

PS
I play 5NL mostly -- 2NL is a circus and just for LOLZ :f_drink:

It doesn't matter 2 or 5. It is way below nl50...

To paraphrase yourself: 50NL so what?
Trying to pull rank is an indication of a bankrupt argument -- it proves nothing except your need to elevate yourself in the eyes of weaker/immature minds.

FWIW I have played up to 100NL online -- prior to taking a long sabbatical from poker.
I returned to playing a few months ago and committed to building a roll from a $20 deposit and learning the modern game from scratch -- only part-time as I do quite a lot of voluntary work and have other projects that take up my time.
I am open to hearing your comments about play and discussion of theory -- that is of value to everyone here -- as are all well-considered replies.
Your humor-bypass and -- albeit few -- unobservant replies are disappointing as is your apparent lack of humility. I have made several attempts to defuse your -- frankly -- foul mood in this thread including the use of images rather than argument. To no avail. Shame.

I can understand your need to be respected as an authority by 10NL players and below -- but do you?
Not that it matters as this thread is now ... dead.

I am not going to read your snivelling story of how great player you are and how unfortunate faith is and how you have skills for nl1000 but now you started nl2.... :)

P.S. I do not have a need to be respected. I comment in order to improve my game first and if I can, to help others too. If you are not ready to discuss - do not post hands.
Your are as bad at reading my intentions as you are bad at reading your opponents.
And the use of images, shows lack of argument which should not be respected. :)

Dude -- quite obviously you have read it! That is exactly what i said -- right? :f_drink:

LOL! What a venomous reply! You really ought not to troll the forums when you have a bad day at the tables. Although it is actually quite funny...

I would rather not look somewhat necrophiliac -- threads that are dead should stay dead. Please allow this thread to die -- or I will have to call in the moderator-executioner.
