We've been 3-tabling for about 1.5 hours. He shifts in and out of different modes - 3-betting and 4-betting incessantly, to calling and leading, double, triple bets every time. He's in reraise way light mode right now.
Some history: he seems to "value-bluff" a lot in big pots. Meaning making what appears to be a two-way bet in which a better hand might fold and a worse hand might call. Two examples: http://www.pokerhand.org/?998449 and http://www.pokerhand.org/?998459 So here's the hand - those of you who have seen results, please try not to be too results oriented. I thought it was a very tough decision - turn put up some draws so that widens his range. Gaucho was watching most of the match so maybe he can comment on anything I've left out.

How have YOU been playing? Also, hand 1 looks like pure 100% value from him. Hand 2, I can kinda see as two-way although it really just looks like a bluff to me.
No idea what I would do in the actual hand. Hope this post is helpful. |

[/ QUOTE ] i've been playing well in all the big pots. i've called his double barrels in normal raised pots and nearly every single river has been a bad one, he's potted and i've folded a lot. i guess my comments about value bluffing apply moreso to the Q6 4-bet pot than the QQ hand. he seems to not fear me trapping him or thinks i might fold something a bit better. snaggle, by your logic though, if he can show up with QK can't he show up with Q4? JJ? |

i mean of course he can sometimes. but not as often as AQ/KQ. mainly because they beat all of your top pair hands you are calling down with, obv. more likely to chk Q4/JJ. durrr may love to 3barrel, and he may love to induce, but i think he holds valuetowning closest to his heart, and this river is a fold.

im confused by your comments on the two prior hands you posted. both look like straight up value plays to me.
as to the hand, obv it is a close spot. prolly a fold though. hand simply isn't going to be good often enough here, and durr can show up w/ KQ here. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think this is pretty much spot on. Those two hands look like valuetown and he probably knows/has seen you make some hero calls before. I could probably reason a call on the river as he is playing lower and probably realizes that you are playing a bit higher (tho maybe people look him up lighter as a general rule, i'm not familiar enough with his game to really say). I could def reason a call, but folding is prob the best play. |
