Vilain was very active (same vilain than this hand )

Fold preflop, limp ?

On flop, he bets his entire preflop range, imo, but my hand is quite weak / vulnerable. Fold or call ?

On the turn, this is probably spew, but his bet is so small. What do you think ?

On the river, I almost have the nut low. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

any ideas ?

Limp or raise preflop depends on how the table has acted so far, usually i prefer the raise here too.

On the flop I would have folded - if he playes a PP himself you are beaten (except 22). And the bet doesn't look as if he is on a draw - maybe he plays 2 overcards - but i think you are behind here most of the time.

I like raising here preflop.

I think you can fold the flop here against this donkish opponent. Even if you're ahead on the flop, you're just slightly ahead of a fairly wide range. Find a better spot to play against this guy.

I like the raise pre, but I think with these blinds, raising in LP with the tiny PPs is 90% a steal and should be played as such. I know you'll win sometimes showing down unimproved, but its pretty hard to get to that showdown after 5 overs have hit the board....

Post flop I don't really like your line, call, call, fold is pretty bad IMO. If I'm playing this hand, I'm going to be raising at some point, probably the turn. His flop bet tells me he has something but isnt particularly strong, put him to a hard decision on the turn with a pot sized bet.

That said folding flop is fine as well.

raise on the flop to get some info. Flop bet seems kind of weak. I probably would either limp or fold 33 here.

Tackleberry · #7 09-10-2007, 05:16 AM

Never-ever (!!!) open-limp with a small PP from late position! You want to "steal" the blinds - you definitely have no interest in either seeing the flop 3-handed or being raised preflop!

Raise more preflop (like 300-350). Your bet is nearly unfoldable for BB, getting 2,6:1!

On the flop this is either a fold or a raise imho. Active villains seem to like donking a paired-flop, expecting that it missed you in the majority of time. If he calls or reraises you, then you´re done naturally.

Palying mainly turbo STT, I'm used to those 2.5xBB raises which are perfect for v short stack poker.

You're right, of course.

popejpjr · #9 09-10-2007, 05:25 AM

why not limp if you think you can outplay the blinds?
What is wrong with keeping the pot small here with a marginal holding?

donquay · #10 09-10-2007, 05:26 AM

I raise 3x preflop and probably dump it on the flop.

If I do keep playing, I think I shove over his flop donkbet because if he fires a second barrel on the turn of any reasonable size we don't have to fold equity necessary to get him off his hand (which certainly is ahead of us).
