Default Re: Shortstacked 99 in big blind facing raise

I'm curious how Villian got that huge stack if he's not loose aggro.

Why would you every say this?

LAG is the only profitable style of play?

Players don't go on heaters?

This is a very risky assumption to make without any other information than his stack size.

Without perfect information, we make our best assumptions.

This player has not played for 2 orbits. At least, Hero doesn't think he has. He wasn't even 100% sure about that. But let's assume he's right. That's a factor which says he's tight. But he's got 13k chips by level 4 in a 20/180. Most players who get stacks that big that quickly tend to be loose, otherwise they'd have a hard time accumulating that many chips in the first 45 minutes.

The fact is, we don't have a good read on this guy yet. We have no idea whether he's tight and had a heater, whether he's a loose luckbox that just folded an orbit or two, or whether he's somewhere between.

To me, that's enough information to conclude that OP's original range of 88+/AJ+ is WAY too tight.
