Default Re: General question about how to play vs specific type of player

[ QUOTE ]

- c-bet tons of flops (75%+)


[/ QUOTE ]

Never lead. Checkraise ALL your made hands, ALL your draws, and a few of your total misses. Your opponent only has a hand 30-40% of the time, so a checkraise will be immediately profitable.

[ QUOTE ]

- either double barrel very rarely (10%-) or do it 70%+


[/ QUOTE ]

If they rarely double-barrel, feel free to call draws on the flop; you've got two cards to hit rather than just one. If they usually double-barrel, smooth-call your good and great hands on the flop and then checkraise the turn instead: snap off both bluffs, rather than just one.

[ QUOTE ]

- go to showdown quite often (30-35%)


[/ QUOTE ]

Bluff less, value bet more often.

[ QUOTE ]

- call c-bets frequently (50-65%) when in position


[/ QUOTE ]

Don't raise light preflop from OOP relative to them. Tighten up and expect more value postflop.

[ QUOTE ]

- either fold to a second barrel or raise or c/r all-in on
the turn.


[/ QUOTE ]

Double-barrel frequently. It FEELS like they're pushing the turn all the time, but in reality they're folding more than half the time. Your double-barrel is going to be immediately profitable, and it will also make your two-street value bets more disguised and (therefore) more profitable. Also, check behind on the turn with your very strong draws.

[ QUOTE ]

- don't defend their blinds (fold to steal 70%+)


[/ QUOTE ]

Steal their blinds often.

[ QUOTE ]

- don't fold to 3bets from the blinds, they LOVE to call
from the button


[/ QUOTE ]

Tighten up in the blinds, three-bet VERY strongly (I usually three-bet to at least 3.5 times the size of the raise from the blinds), and keep shooting.

[ QUOTE ]

- they are generally positionally aware, but don't try to
steal the blinds excessivley (20-30%)


[/ QUOTE ]

Respect their LP raises.
