View Full Version : 50NL; 3 interesting hands vs. same villian who almost never folds

Villian is the same in all 3 hands. He's really bad. High voluntarily in pot like 40-50 and low pre-flop raise like 1. Post-flop generally not aggressive...like 1. He's folded to like 7 out of 25 c-bets and 2 out of 16 turn bets...I don't recall river but again a fold is rare. Results for each hand are in white to make decisions easier for the following hands.

Hand 1: Note: At this point I didn't know how often he called bets post-flop. (His play really looked like a draw to me. I thought I could push him off it on the turn, but nope, but I still thought it was a draw, just worried it was an A high draw so I figured I could still push him off A high with a river push and that was enough of his range to do it.):

hand 1 is horrible - you yourself say he's a calling station and you're trying to get him off a hand? you also say he's not that aggro post-flop and yet you put him on a draw

hand 2: I'd bet pot on the turn - he's a calling station - get your money in there. on the river - why the hell are you overbetting the pot? Do you really believe he will call with a worse hand? Well, based on hand 1 I can see why you did that. I'd call the river bet - he could be doing this w/ 2pair.

hand 3: that's weird - he bets into you with a board of 9 9 3. I like the way you played it and just check behind on river.

Also - don't show results

Just a note on hand 1 I didn't yet have my he calls like everything read: I just added that to OP.

And I only showed results so you could evaluate the future hands using the results from the past ones.

Hand 1: I raise or fold the flop vs the donk lead. After the flop, I'm not putting any more money in the pot unless I hit a red K, and probably not much more even then (unless I had a read that he was a CS, then I would just c/f the flop.)

Hand 2: I bet close to pot on every street and think a bit and probably call the minraise. This might be a leak though, because it looks more like a slowplayed hand or a BD flush. Passive players like this don't usually raise the river w/o a monster.

Hand 3: Weird line for BB to take, I call/call/ check behind, esp w/ the A on the board.

Hand 1: Just seems like spew to me. He has called you twice already, I don't see what hand he is going to fold on the river there.

Hand 2: I would make a crying calling. You are getting close to 4 to 1 on your money.

Hand 3: Definitely check behind. Your hand isn't that strong and there still is the UTG all-in player to deal with.

Hand 1: That looks like pure spew. Why are you raising a guy like that with K8s anyway? Fold pre-flop. Every street is pretty bad. You can find much better spots.

Hand 2: I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the river bet. I definitely think you should check that. What calls a bet that big that you beat? There may be hands that might call a 1/2 pot bet that you beat but it seems too thin with a board like that.

Hand 3: Easy check on the river. You're not getting a worse hand to call you.
