Its actually in British Pounds so equiv to 100NL.
Reads - Villain is LAG - preflop he raises a wide range, limps prob mean really bad cards but he cold calls a ton. Post flop he loves to bluff by raising if you bet weak.


Stack sizes:
UTG: $112.85
Button: $56.50
SB: $134.42
Hero: $46.70

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2.5</font>, UTG calls.

4 handed I thought I pop him w/ A7s...

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($5.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.

I intend to check call as he has a pair like never. Don't want to get raised off the hand.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($5.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Trying to induce a bluff but he doesn't oblige again which is very strange.

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($5.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero is all-in $44.2</font>

Time to pull a Scotty Nguyen?

Comments on ALL streets welcome.

Thanks

So you expect him to call and split a $5 pot?

Re: You call & its all over babee!
 

if hes actually lag c/r the river big, unless hes retarded hes not calling anyway.

Re: You call & its all over babee!
 

You realise how bad he rake is at these low stakes £ tables right?

Re: You call & its all over babee!
 

Yeah I know because the pound tables effectively means a higher cap on the rake. Having said that, the pound tables are a LOT softer than the US$ tables on Crypto...

the 100 pound games play like US$50NL...

Unless the villian has a 7 too, this isn't a push. The hero beats any pp held by villian (7s full of 4s beats 4s full of any pp).

Good bet. You get called many times by people thinking you are just playing the board or slowplayed a high pp.

lol bet $5

"I intend to check call as he has a pair like never. Don't want to get raised off the hand."

This doesn't add up. I would be the flop and shove against his raise.

Re: You call & its all over babee!
 

bet turn and get called by PPs

Re: You call & its all over babee!
 

I'm not going to bet 3 bet all in just because hes aggro on the flop. He isn't calling the push unless I'm beat... I guess you could bet/call but thats just too frisky imo

Bet half that to induce a bluff raise, then shove. But if he called your push, well played.

If you don't believe he'll 2nd barrel too often a shove is correct. You'll still have 3/6 outs. If you believe he is raising the flop with crap and you have a good hand on a flop like this how can you not bet? Your check-call strategy gives us:

1) no FE
2) him in total control and in position
3) Small pot with good hand and possibly a drawing hand

The great thing about bet/ai is that we will get Ax to fold and even some small pairs sometimes. We really only fear 77+ so be will get a decent pot with very little risk amd low volatility.

Check calling is really frisky! Swings will be huge and it will be hard to make it work OOP. It will be +EV but prolly not as much.
