5/10 6-max - dealing w the reraiser

pocketjesuits · #1 06-03-2006, 01:14 PM

This is somewhat in response to the recent thread about dealing with reraising.

I started playing 6-max recently - i'm playing 30/20, and have found it incredible how often I am getting repopped. I'm not complaining, since it's always the same guys, who are each on a few of my tables. Clearly they realize I have a loose range, but they are simply reraising me far too often. All I have to do is resteal their reraise once every 3-4 times they repop me, or better yet their reraise+continuation bet once every 5-10 times.

The villains in all three of these hands are about 25/16 aggressive multitablers (two of them are the same villain). They've been repopping me alot, and usually I just fold.

Here are some hands:

hand 2 is ugly. pf call is meh, whatever w/3way, but hes not betting into a 3-way reraised K-high flop w/AQo

hand 1 is okay if you know he's a squeezer. Other than that you are practically barfing chips at them and it looks liek you are on tilt.

who is villain?

Hand 2 is terrible for the reasons mentioned by yves. Hand 3 kinda sucks too.

Hand 1 was a known squeezer. I usually don't 4-bet bluff, because I don't like 4-betting my big hands - but the presence of the button in the middle changes that.

I thought hand 2 was the most +EV.

The whole point of this is that villain is a light reraiser/squeezer. I fully expect that he would continuation bet with nothing a fair bit of the time. He has air here quite often.

Secondly, i've played my hand like a set and I think I have fold equity on AA/AK, no? This guy can get away from those hands if he thinks that he's beat. Seriously, if you're villain w AK how do you call this? What are you beating? I haven't previously been seen to be out of line postflop. Have I been playing too much full ring? How often does he call w AK? AA?

What part of hand 3 sucks? I knew that he was raising light and would continuation bet at almost any flop that he missed - therefore I called preflop w a speculative hand with the intention of stealing the pot from him on any non-dangerous flop.

Cesaro - i'd rather not divulge screennames

This [censored] is nuts.
Should I be doing more of this?

this is pointless, you understand that? you can't ask "is this an ok way to play KTo?". dig up that old shania post from sredni whatshisname and you'll get my point. i'm guessing someone can link it...
