Decision with Doyle
 

Villain is 25/15/1.4, Weak/ABC calling station postflop, but usually seems to have something when decent $$$ is going in postflop. I am playing ~23/16, and have been caught bluffing a few times with missed draws, but my image shouldn't be terrible overall.

$1,200, fold to additional action

what was the question again?

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

Very clear bet, as you beat all other 2s, 1200 is good. He can't fold a 2 because your line doesn't look anything like a 9, and you can't expect him to c/r bluff ever because he is passive and stationy.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

i jack it pre, i raise this flop with atc

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

when you bet, he can even put you on missed hearts and call very light. a raise would be scary but i think you get raised here almost never. i might bet a little more like 1400 because if hes the type of player you think he is, hes calling.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

good thing you raised the turn, you were 0 for 2 before that

It's pretty common knowledge I'm not a sick individual such as yourself, however.

This was pretty much my thinking. I PSB'd, he called pretty quickly with QQ.

no hes saying u missed 2 spots to raise

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

i dont think its really that out there to inflate a pot with any two with position against a weak postflop player when they have completed the small blind.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

thats pretty cool that you got to act last after the bb preflop.

But I also have to get a hand vs him, or he's not going anywhere most of the time. I leave the fancy stuff to the pros. Building pots with trash when deep vs calling stations not my idea of a good time.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

but he won't hit the flop a lot of the time (i doubt he is calling when he doesnt pair with like queen or king high), and if he does, some of those times you will hit the best hand...the rest of the time you just give up.

I prefer to flop trips, turn 3rd nuts and value bet only slightly thin vs a badly played BPP. Works every time.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

villain likely doesn't have a 9, so bet the biggest amount you think he'll call. also, i generally play more aggressively pre-flop and on the flop in situations like this, but your line might be acceptable depending on your image and how villain plays.

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

1111 on riv-absolute must

i raise pre also
i dont mind the flop smooth call though

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

what are you guys thinking he'll get paid off by on river? i'm not seeing much at all

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

given your image, and the fact that all draws bricked on the river i kind of like an overbet here. something like 2200. the hH is confusing but do "ABC" players usually check with QQ when its limped to them?

villain is a calling station, and hero has been caught bluffing with missed draws...all draws missed so i think a station could convince himself to call with a lot of hands in this spot. A or K high, small PP, maybe even a deuce?

Re: Decision with Doyle
 

value bet unless this guy will cr river with nothing a lot
