20 HU: I try to stick it in the vagine NLCASH

[BarryLyndon]

"Tito" is terrible. He min raises a lot, min bets a bunch, is just bad. I picked him off with J high on a bluff earlier (40 to 240) on a 8 7 2 2 5r.

I want to trap, so I check the flop, which in retrospect, is a bad idea, because Tito doesn't bet unless he has something. On the turn, however, this minraise worries me. Stick it all in or call and re-evaluate OOP?

I call, check/call river unimproved unless it is something hideous.

So like half the deck?

I probably call and chk/call river too though.

Pretty much. No J T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A 9 and I'm calling I think.

Given that half the deck is hideous, why isn't pushing a good option here? He calls with J10, Ac, Kc, Qc here, and if he folds, at least I don't have to deal with a scare card OOP.

PS: Love the avatar, it's sassy without being repugnant or implying rampant internet masturbation.

My thinking is that if you push you don't really get called by anything besides the straight, flush, or higher 2 pair. I suppose JT might show up sometimes as well. If you just call and manage to get a blank on the river he can at least pay you off with a poorly played AK, or if you boat up and he actually hit a 5 card hand you can crush him.

PS: I could never find this Conan episode on youtube, tell me if you ever come across it.
