hero ???

how often is KK going to be good here? He's never doing this with a flush draw in my opinion, he's the type that just calls if someone bets, but he will bet some really retarded crap if everyone checked.

Re: KK vs calling station who got agressive
 

Crap, I hate these spots. Part of the reason that these flop min-raises are so annoying is that, while the play probably isn't really optimal very often, collectively the fish do employ it fairly well, so until you know what a specific fish's min-raises tend to mean, they're hard to deal with.

What I would do against this player, based on the read you have, is call and reevaluate on the turn, based on what falls and how much he bets. Frequently what's going to happen is that he's going to string me along with his goddamn J9o and I won't catch a K, 5 or a running pair. But at least I'll console myself that he gave me semi-reasonable odds with his small bets and I didn't really lose that much on the hand in the end.

(I mean, in SPR terms, he may end up only charging me an amount that would have seemed reasonable if that amount had been the effective remaining stacks on the flop. Or he may follow up his flop min-raise with a turn bomb that lets me make an agonizing fold.)

Ya I have a bad habit of shoving over the really bad players bets... when if i'm beat, usually they won't charge me nearly as much as it will by shoving.

Re: KK vs calling station who got agressive
 

I doubt your up against AA, since AA would have raised preflop. Another possibility is a set, than you are destined to go broke anyway. Usually I think this is QJ,KJ,AJ or a flushdraw. I think I call and push a non-heart, non J,A turn. Otherwise, it's c/f for me.

ty for ignoring most of what i wrote.. he never does this with a flush draw or Jx

Re: KK vs calling station who got agressive
 

Usual wtf spot. Need to know sample size since AF scales very badly. If he is a genuine 1.4, I think its a pretty easy fold.

300 hands

He's 1.4 playing 55% of his hands and furthermore only raising 5% of them pre-flop. That 1.4 isn't really that passive.


I don't believe he's never doing this with a draw.



I can see 3betting that flop.

So fold.

Edit - sorry for the one liner, but if he's not doing this with a FD or Jx, he probably has more than one pair, and we're at best 30% equity.
