Breaking down redargoe
 

there was some intrest in redargoe since he plays so many tables and hours that everyone who plays stars has played vs. him at some point

redargoe is a regular at PS 5/10 and 10/20 6max. He runs at 21/17/2.8 and one of the biggest winners (maybe not in terms of BB/100 but he def. plays more hands and hours than most of the regulars), last datamine I saw he had the highest net ammount won.

So what do we know about his strategy-
- preflop raise is always 4BB.
- 3bets bigger than normal also
- never limps and rarely calls bets. almost always 3bets.
- doesnt mind getting it in with marginal hands preflop against other regulars. AQ is seemingly his favourite hand to get it in pf
- check-raises sets and draws
- C-bets a LOT

Agression factors:
PF: 2.88 Flop: 3.45 Turn: 1.77 River: 2.11


I think his preflop game is very exploitable, so many times he commits a lot preflop. Not pushing AK against one of his squeezes is very horrible. Also I think once you bet the river and get reraised all-in he always has sets since he loves checkraising the river.

please contribute with other reads/counterstrategies to beat his style.

Calling 3-bets with speculative hands like suited one gappers in position and pushing good boards can also turn a profit because I think he is def. c-betting way too much. Lots of times he will like bet 280 on a 300 pot on the flop, then fold to a push when he has 500 behind. Gotta do the same thing with AA and sometimes KK also to have a balance.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

how is this different than posting a HH against a known player and discussing his style. would it be better if i posted a hand vs. him, and asked what to do, after giving these reads?

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

lock this [censored]

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

i remember back when it wasnt even acceptable to use the names of others in hand histories. this thread is complete [censored] and should be locked immediately.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

classless comes to mind.

Re: Breaking down redargoe

Re: Breaking down redargoe

there's a fine line between outlining someone's habits and getting this deep into specifics

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

how is any of this 'deep into specifics'?

very agressive? 3bets? 4BB pf raises? checkraises sets and draws?

good god this man may be onto something.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

i heard he has a huge [censored].

discuss...

Re: Breaking down redargoe

Re: Breaking down redargoe

youre over reacting with the rest of em !

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

This thread is retarded.
The OP did not give any info that really differentiates Redargoe from most tag regs.

As well starting threads designed to give info how to play against specific regs is pretty lame.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

I'm w/ xorbie, the OP didn't really say anything that wasn't incredibly obvious.

This is my favorite quote from OP "doesnt mind getting it in with marginal hands preflop against other regulars. AQ is seemingly his favourite hand to get it in pf". I clearly will be able to own red w/ this new, profound info.

Obv. this thread is not cool, but anyone good enough to make a post that would actually help against a player isn't dumb enough to do it anyway

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

redargoe is super sexy. So sexy that he's probably sexually exploitable.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

gross

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

Just be better at poker yourself and you won't have to ask 15 people their advice to beat one player.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

Is everybody here [censored] stupid?

I'd love it if people talked openly about how to play against me, I'd be willing to pay $50 per strong post about how to beat me.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

to be fair, you guys didnt mind when i did this with that one 20bb guy dirtysanchez. anyways, i thought the OP was kind of funny and of little practical value.

Re: Breaking down redargoe
 

this would be so much more classless if OP wasnt just retarded
