AQ, am I too passive?

Oink · #1 06-13-2006, 08:55 AM

Starting out at 6max switching from full-ring and I'm afraid I'm missing some value-bets/raises when playing the more aggressive opponents.

How is my line on this one? Is this an easy value raise on the river? Should I just call his raise on the flop and raise a blank turn?
SB is 22/14/4.4 after 130 hands or so. I have seen him get a bit out of line in blind battles, but otherwise seems fairly solid.
BB is LPP with 60/2/0.5 or so after just 50 hands.

Super standard

Looks fine to me, I hate getting capped here with the J out, because AK and AJ are now ahead...seems pretty standard.

This guy would 3-bet preflop with AJ. He probably has A5 and got counterfeited on the river.
I really like raising this river and folding to a 3-bet since the flush card and paired board pretty much guarantees that we will only get 3-bet by a monster

Dont you think that someone who is capping the flop with A5 might try to 3 bet the river every once in awhile when on tilt? You want to give yourself the chance to fold a ~13BB pot to some tilting lunatic? He is very very aggro, a call would be a must if you took that line.

From the sounds of it, you won?

This looks fine to me.

Oink : Play this any more aggro is asking for trouble; well played.
