Re: Shortstacked 99 in big blind facing raise
[ QUOTE ]
We haven't seen him play a hand in 2 orbits, but I'm not willing to give him credit for being a complete nit. He's a huge stack relatively early in a 20/180. That usually is not an indicator that someone is super tight. I think you're putting way too much stress on the read.

Plus, everyone is ignoring the 2nd level read that this player thinks we are loose based on him getting moved to the table and us pushing twice, including once onto his bb.
Against an unknown, perhaps we should consider opening his range up wider than normal to account for spite-raises (this is vital to LAG/semi-LAG play and almost irrelevant to TAGs unless the cards have required them to appear loose lately, which is probably why nobody has mentioned it, AFAIK).
