Re: NL10 - Overpair deep, best line on flop/turn?

In this instance I shoved and lost to Q9.

If they are that loose, I like to raise really big with AA. With normal stacks, say effective stack size 100 BB, a very loose and donkish player will stack me nearly 100% of the time when my AA makes an overpair and he has two pair or better, but I can let him pay preflop. Heīs probalby going to call anyway, so why not make a raise that lets good old maths garantie that his calling with like 44 is a mistake.

More of a general question really, against players with silly stats in VPIP, how much respect should I be giving in spots like this? If the stats are 75/11/0.5 or something, its easy of course. But when its like this case, at what point do I have to start giving respect, and not be thinking that they might be donking off with say QJ?

Well, itīs a tough spot because of all that bad play you see at NL10.
I strongly lean towards giving them respect when they try to get the money in by-and-by, that is, by making a non-all-in reraise. But it is only recently that I learned that, and learned it the hard way.
Especially, when they are in position and call a c-bet on a drawy board, then if an ugly turn card comes, they min-raise your next bet, they normaly have it. Try to find out wether he wants a call or a fold. And yes, sometimes they want a call with top pair on a double paired flush-like board, as they believe itīs the nuts.
Also: even at NL10, respect the check-raise.
Sad enough, a min-raise on the flop will sometimes be a flush draw as well (note this: I donīt say they should play like that!), so you never know.
In this case, you canīt add chips to your stack, but you can add a player to your buddy list, which might even be better in the long run! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
