I just gotta get this out of my chest. First 25k is NL100, the rest NL50. Welcome 40% RB [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks god for my day job.

How bad is this? Villain is 23/12 but open-raises nearly 30%, little understanding of position. Cbets 100% over 800 datamined hands. Has high turn aggression, too.

1) Is PF a spew?
2) How's my cbet raise? Should I play this draw more passive?
3) Do you call his shove?

Ok, so I had played this guy for a while and simply put, he wasn't putting a ton of money at risk with weird/marginal hands. Tbh most of our match had been small pots...he doesn't like continuing after the flop unless he has *something*.

He's capable of betting the flop with a draw, any pair, a medium pp (he'd reraise a big one preflop most of the time). Based on his previous play he doesn't donk bet often and I think he'd donk bet draws less than pairs/made hands.

On the turn I thought for a long time between the line I took and checking, then calling the river or raising allin if I boated up. Buuuut, I just saw pocket pairs and stuff like A6 dancing in my head that I could probably stack with a $30 bet. On the river I think my odds are too good to fold here, plus the pot is so big and I've played so few big ones with him, I can't discount that he's not bluffing for it.

What lines do you guys look at closely here?

karp,

You're going to have an easier time getting better if you can spell out exactly what you're thinking/planning for a hand. Also write out what you think on analysis. Poker is a thought process, not a hand quiz guessing game (well, ok, STTs are, lol).

Pf is not spew,
your raise should be a little bigger, like 18
getting it in there is standard, if hes got like AK or AA, your pretty much flipping (slightly slightly behind, but close enough)

[ManChild]

if this guy is only putting money in when he has a hand, then your unlikely to get 2 streets of value here, so checking the turn with the intention of calling a river bet if you miss (obv raising/betting if you boat) is a good idea. also, if he checks blank river id value bet

Alright I seek insight from my fellow STTer's.

I ended up playing a few hours last night at Foxwoods 1/2.
Most of the hands I felt I played them well, but I wanted your insight to see if we are on the same page.

First significant hand: I have 260 behind me. Villain is to my right, who has 800 behind him. He is a huge station and plays a wide assortment of hands. I've been at table for two orbits and see him limp call 4 raises OOP.

PF I am in MP1 w/ A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. 1 fold, villain open-limps, next person makes it 14. I make it 36 to go. Folded around, villain calls, original raiser folds.

<font color="red"> Pot: </font> <font color="blue">$88 </font>

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He checks to me. I bet 65. He calls after a brief moment.

Turn: <font color="red"> Pot: </font> <font color="blue">$218 </font>

K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He checks to me again. I have $160 left. Villain's range here is literally any two cards. How would you play remainder of the hand out from here and why?

[ManChild]

I would stick it in now, as he will call with K or heart, or possibly even worse, also if the heart misses and all he had was a draw you wont get his money unless you get it in on the turn.
and thus, just stick it in now

[Diamond Lie]

Next significant hand. This is at same table.

I have 220 behind me. 2 limpers, I raise Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to 18 from CO. Button calls, villain from hand 1 calls, other limper folds.

<font color="red"> Pot: </font> <font color="blue">$54 </font>
Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain from hand 1 checks. He has me covered. I usually bet here. My reasons for checking is because I know that 1st villain is going to call any c-bet on this paired board. I also have not played a hand yet with the button (whom I have covered). Button bets out $26 (1/2 pot). Villain 1 calls without even thinking.

I feel like I potentially have the best hand still. It's a paired board, and the table style is super lag. I might have mis-played not c-betting when I was checked to. It's $26 to see a pot of $106.

How many of you are firing out when they are second to act on the flop here? How often are you betting/checking here in this type of context/situation?

What is the plan up to this point? For rest of hand if we do call?

[Diamond Lie]

Hand 3:

I am at a new table. Table is less lag and more straight forward poker. I have 325 behind me at this point.

PF: 2 limpers, 1 raise to 18. 1 caller. I have K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in CO. I decide to flat call. SB calls, folded around. 4 to the flop, I have position and have everyone covered.

<font color="red"> Pot: </font> <font color="blue">$76 </font>

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Initial raiser bets $35. 2 folds to me. I do not put him on a 9 here. He could have an overpair, or possibly a pocket pair, maybe KJs or AJs. Maybe two overs? Its really hard to put people at 1/2 at foxwoods on hand ranges im finding.

I decide to raise to $100. I know villain is a thinking player, and has shown from other confrontations he is capable of making folds to big re-raises. I obviously have outs if he flat calls my raise.

How would you approach this situation?
