25NL AJs blind battle
 

I have villain at 60/40 after 10 hands which is about as long as I've been at the table. Can I call his little 4-bet in position here? Also what's your post-flop plan?

Don't call it a blindbattle if your new at the table and hvnt fought for them before [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

His mini reraise is quite spunky and is either a AA,KK or a wide range pp's AT+ and some spewy things. Since you got position with a semidecent hand that probably can compete his with his range i would call since it's 1,5 for a 7$ pot. So i would call and reevaluate on the flop. Then it hard to say depends on villains action and the flop.

I would take a flop against someone with those stats but I think BvB is my biggest leak right now so meh.

Re: 25NL AJs blind battle
 

i'll fold. 10 hands is nothing, wait till you have atleast 75+ before you judge a player by there stats. im just folding this, but if after several hands his stats are similar, i'd call, or reraise if hes doing it alot

Re: 25NL AJs blind battle
 

your getting great odds to take a flop IP (4-1), id have to hit it kinda hard to call/raise a decent size bet on the flop.

Re: 25NL AJs blind battle
 

not only that, this is not a hand you want to play with against someone who 4b you, it'd be better to play a hand that would be well hidden if you hit. the only hand you can really hope to hit here is a flush, other hands in villain's 4b range probably dominate you.

you guys really fold to a less than 2x your 3 bet here I mean I know we are not in great shape agianst villans range but you fold this IP getting 4-1?

Re: 25NL AJs blind battle
 

I disagree with the advice about folding this. Yes, SB 4-bet us and he could have a monster... or air. But AJs heads up isnt bad, getting about 3-1 with position. Call this 4-bet and evaluate the flop.

You fold here and I guarantee him and the rest of the table will run you over.

Actually I usually fold this because of the RIO. The deck would have to smack us in the face to feel good about playing a big pot here.

This is 25NL, nobody is going to run you over. And if the rest of the table sees us as weak tight, that's very good for us, DUCY?
