I did something new today

Ok so poker tracker keeps losing HH's so I'm posting this from memory.

200 NL 6-max on FTP

20/17/3 TAG raises UTG to $7, MP (loose passive fish) calls $7, and the action is to me on the button with A9o.

Effective stacks are $200 and I have a pretty tight image so far due to being card dead. I'm gonna squeeze almost ATC here in this situation because the TAG isn't going to call a large reraise OOP with a weak hand and the fish will either fold pf or c/f the flop.

So action is on me and I raise to $31, the TAG opener thinks a few seconds and then calls, then fish folds.

Flop (Pot ~$67)

Villain checks, I check.

Turn (Pot ~$67)

Villain bets $45, I fold.



My thoughts on the hand. This villain raised UTG and then got reraised by me and I've been playing very tight at this table, I actually think this was my first 3-bet of anyone. This guy isn't going to call a huge reraise OOP without set odds because I know him to be a good player and well good players don't do that.

I feel like if I bet the flop he's going to CRAI like every single time and then I fold, so I thought I'd give myself a chance to hit my ace vs QQ/KK. Once I check back on the flop I know I'm giving up on the hand but I feel he's shoving here almost all the time.

This isn't something I do normally and maybe this is a feel thing I don't know, but all in all what do you guys think?

this whole hand really depends on the fish. If he is really really bad, the tag could call wide pf, if he is just quite bad (which im assuming) then nh, i hate a flop bet.

how insightful, perhaps you'de like to elaborate.....


when i say "wide" i mean wider then JJ+ i dont mean 67s

[terp]

i'm not trying to insult you, i just think that the size of the PFRR (which is fine, btw) and the tag's position means his range is not very wide.

i do think he may fold some of his medium PP hands (99-JJ?) on the flop to a $40 or so bet since the fish is out of the pot and we're still firing, but i don't mind your line either

[Unknown Soldier]

fair enough, i was agreeing with you more or less actually.

meh, unlikely. 99 probably isn't in his range anyway. AA/KK are nearly as likely as JJ which makes a flop bet bad
