Caught between a tighty and a manic...

[VorShot]

I left the results just because i think it better explains my problem.

UTG has been very tight. No raises preflop, with only like a 9% hands VP$.

CO has been really loose and wild. Pretty sure i'm ahead of this range here.

Only problem is, I have NO idea what do here on the flop after CO raises to $6. I have been watching CO do this with next to nothing the entire session, so i was quite sure i was ahead here and if i wasn't, i was willing to stack off because they were just so horrible i was willing to feed the fish here.

UTG though scared me, and i knew it was quite possible i was dead here, but should i fold to crazy man's $6 just because tighty called my flop raise? I knew i couldn't call $6 and then fold, so my choices were all in or fold.

As you can see, i decided to all in and pray for the 2 outer if tighty called. As you can see, i lack the getting lucky skill.

Considering such a tight player and such a non draw flop, should i have just given it up? Is there anything i'm ahead of here with such a tight player?

i think you are too concerned with your reads on your opponents ... 10nl its almost a waste of brainpower trying to understand the plays of people who dont even know what they themselves are doing.

otherwise there is nothing wrong with your play.

I know in the low limits everyone wants to be making reads and pulling off massive bluffs but the real key is just solid ABC poker, i think your play is fine here.

that was bad beat...

[Sir Winalot]

Sorry dude but this is as BBV as it gets. IMO the play was pretty standardo.

[avfletch]

Having AA OOP with 2 limpers I really think you need to raise more preflop.

As for the rest of the hand its just bad luck the way it went down. Only thing to do is make a note that villain can play his sets fast in these places and get on with it.

Raise to 0.6 pre. Otherwise, great hand.

No, you can´t get away, even if your read is dead on. You don´t have information to put tighty on a set just yet. The remedy is not to develop clairvoyant skills. Instead you should raise more pf. Tighty had 99 so he probably wasn´t going anywhere, but if they think you have a good hand and maniac is in it too, their implied odds just went thru the roof and they would be correct to call your raise with a wide range. I think even a case could be made for a big overbet pf to isolate maniac, since you can´t fold postflop.
