Super Villain
01-09-2007, 12:10 AM
I was playing at a local home game .10 .25 blinds NL.
Stacks vary at the table from $25-$50.
My image is agressive and I have been on a hot run of cards winning $20 in the first 45 mins.
Villain 1 is a good solid player w/ a lot of 1/2 NL winnings at the local riverboat. He is solid but at times appears weak tight. He doesn't really think outside of the box. He tonight has been more agressive than usual p/f but after that is laying down hands to raises and bets unless he connects.
Villain 2 I have played tons of hands w/ and is not as good. He is a decent tournament player but doesn't know how to adapt to cash games as it seems he is content playing "cutthroat tourney style" no limit.
Here is the hand.
Villain 1 is UTG and raises $1 to $1.25
Hero is UTG+1 and squeezes K /images/graemlins/club.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif
My usual 80%-90% play is to raise over the top. But given the nature of my opponent I decide to mix it up and flat call.
Hero calls $1.25
Villain 2 after some thought announces raise. Made it $4 more to go. It is now $5.25 to play.
All others fold.
UTG folds
At this point the pot contains $8.10. It will be $12.10 after I match the $4 bet. Villain 2 has about 35 behind and I barely have him covered. I am obviously raising but what price do we like?? $10?// $15?// all in??
It is a unique spot that I have never been caught in and just wanted some input.
Thanks all!!
