NL10: Aces against loose player

[proudpapa]

Only ten hands in, but villain seems pretty loose, limping nearly every hand, calling raises after limping and twice showing down marginal hands. Was my betting here flawed?

Looks fine - you got all his money in the middle, which is the goal here. If he had a bigger stack, I'd make the flop and turn bets bigger.

Bet sizing in relationship to the pot:

53% pot on flop
52% pot on turn
83% pot on river

You are doing it backwards. Flop bet should be the largest % bet in relationship to the pot.

As for the hand, getting ai is sooo standard.

[proudpapa]

why bet more on the flop? I don't want to chase him away. If he pairs anything on that board, he'll call something reasonable, right?

[ajmargarine]

If he's continuing in the hand, he'll call .60 or .40 95% of the time.

[proudpapa]

SO bet around 1 - 1.10?

[ajmargarine]

On the flop? No, bet $0.60

[proudpapa]

I see. I misunderstood your first post and forgot what the pot was at the flop.

[DJSHAD0W]

What did Villain have? Q7 or 99?
Hand seems pretty standard, specially based on your read that he calls too much, which certainly would mean he'd stack off with Kx....

[proudpapa]

Bastard has K7.

[DJSHAD0W]

yeah cooler... I dont think there is anything you can do...the only thing is bet a little bigger on early streets, such as 4BB (min) PF specially if they are loose callers and then bet 3/4 pot on the flop but not that it would have made a difference here since you still got the $$ in anyway.
since you did raise PF he is not "supposed" to have K7/Q7.. but you'll get your $$ back in similar spots from him if he makes the idiot PF calls, he cant hook every time...
