Villain is 16/10/3 over a few hundred hands. He has one major leak I've noticed, he'll play any pocket pair postflop like the absolute nuts (ie. 44 on a QsJsTs board)

Unless you've seen him do tricky stuff like floating in the past, it's fold time.

As an aside, I love the Baluga Theorum as much as the next guy, but it's taken as absolute gospel in uNl too much.

yeah well .... it look more or less neutral, but in these spots I'm inclined to shove.

Hmm...I was really surprised to just notice that the villain in this hand is 2p2. I won't out him, but I'd love to get his input here.

given 16/10/3 he probably doesn't have 2pair or a straight. That said, this looks very much like a set. Fold.

seems like a set at best its a combo draw somethings nuts like 65 of diamonds.

Well, let's break down his range.

T9, 45, 32 ways total, 0% equity
66,77,88,33, 12 ways total, 4.5% equity
22, 44, 55, 99, tt, jj, 36 ways total, 86% equity
qq, kk, aa, 13 ways total, 8% equity

He doesn't usually call preflop with the hands that make a straight, but if we go by straight hand possiblity %s, it makes up about 34% of his range, I would tend to adjust that downward to about 20% given prior action. Set hands make up 13% of that hand range, but he's certainly playing like a set, let's give that a reasonably high possiblity, say 40%. Non set pair hainds &lt; QQ make up 39% of the range, Knowing that he'll play these hands in this manor, I'm going to leave that right at 39%. That leaves QQ+, there are 13 ways total to make those hands, but very unlikely given prior action, so I'm pretty comfortable giving this a 1% possiblity.

So we'll say then that (.2 * 0) + (.4 * .045) + (.39 * .86) + (.01 * .08)

That leaves us with about 37% equity. I think we can safely assume 0 fold equity. So there'll be $64.25 once villain puts his remaining stack, and I have to put in 34.25 to continue. so we're getting 64.25:34.25 or 1.876:1 and we're 1.703 to win. So unless my math is borked (we'll give that a 50% probability /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) shoving is marginally +EV. Of course shifting the probability of a non-set pocket pair down slightly could easily move this to a fold.

guys I wanna just give you a basic piece of information that will save you a TON of money and time..

when you are the preflop raiser, and you bet a small board, and then you bet again, the villians have a pretty good idea of what you have, the c/c flop, c/r turn at uNL is VERY VERY VERY often a set.. they are bluffing here or making this move with draws/1010orjj/air nearly enough at this level to ever make this profitable, you never call or raise here...

NOW if they are like spewtastic/on tilt/have a tendancy to do this crazy stuff constantly on bluffs/draws/etc.. then obviously shove, but readless or agaisnt a somewhat solid or passive player, you just can't continue here profitably
