9/18

Table has 1 semi-maniac who raises with any 2 suited cards (and I mean any 2) as well as any 2 broadway cards. His frequent raises have induced most of the table to play loose and cold call raises a bit light. There are several other bad, loose calling stations, and only 1 tight player who would be good if he wasn't overly predictable and a bit weak against aggression.

Preflop:
Hero raises first in late EP with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], MP1 (weak loose) calls, MP2 (plays too far with marginal hands, loose) calls, villian calls in MP3, LP1 calls, LP2 calls.

Flop: 6 players, 13.5 sb
2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, villian bets, LP1 calls, LP2 folds, Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, villian calls, LP1 calls.

Turn: 3 players, ~10bb

Hero bets, villian pauses and calls, LP1 folds.

Just wanted to get a line check on the aggression here. Villian was capable of betting out the flop without a Queen, but hadn't shown the spine to play back without a hand. The raise was to drive out the loose caller between us, as well as set up a bluff or semi-bluff on the turn.

Too aggressive? Just right? Comments on any street, or plans for the river?
