NL10: Am I spewing pre-flop in these situations?

wattascoop · #1 10-13-2007, 12:08 PM

Villain is 26/19/5 over 50 hands. I hate flat calling in this situation because I won't be sure where I'm at if an ace hits on the flop, but is re-raising stupid? Also, should i have re-raised that c-bet, or would that be more spew?

I usually fold A10o to a raise, whether in position or not.

however, if you think he's trying to blind steal, this is standard. Raise a little more though..

How much would you raise in this situation?

bsball8806 · #4 10-13-2007, 02:47 PM

Well if my math is correct, you raised exactly the pot, giving him exactly 2/1 odds to call. I'd make it at least 1.50, probably around 1.60, if you want him to fold.

this is trivial usually, but if you're trying to bluff raise him, raise enough so he isn't priced into a call.

The raise size is fine, I don't like it with this hand but sometimes you should 3-bet him with a lot of these hands because they're generally ahead of his range and you have a hand in case you get called.

I don't mind this play once in a while but not all the time. Don't reraise the cbet he's never folding. Don't flat call with this hand either, you played it well.

Just make sure you fold it most of the time.

I like it, you are ahead of his range.

That donkbet is sooo full of [censored]! RAISE

His numbers aren't that far out of line -- he's a little loose, but not crazy. That bet seems incredibly fishy -- but if I re-raise, it has to be somewhere in $3 range -- and that's a lot invested with a nothing hand. Maybe I am just better off folding pre-flop? But that seems incredibly nitty to me.

Enough of this thinking stuff. I'm going to go get drunk.
