Trips/top kicker vs. limp-reraiser

[MacGuyV]

seems like a semi-easy raise to me. Who raises 55 on the flop or donks the river with 78?

"Who raises 55 on the flop"

basically everone would in his spot?

"or donks the river with 78?"

he doesnt have that ever

did you miss the preflop+flop+turn action?

Once you think you've seen everything, come play at WPEX. I've seen this there ;P

I thought somebody mentioned 78 for some reason [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Anyway I think your 10/20 play has made you lose touch with the commoners - it's an overaggro 1/2 player with 1 hand that beats us; and if 'basically everyone' raises it on the flop that must be an AP thing.

Ok, results time... villain indeed had 55. I raise/called the river, and afterwards felt that this was a bad play. I do have enough respect for villain to expect him to realize I have at least a 9 after I cap the turn with UTG all-in, yet he led the river anyway. I felt like I was a bit stubborn by continuing to stick with my "overpair/wtf/people play like tards in huge pots" read. I've had a few hands this week where I hold a semi-monster and overplay it from a results-oriented perspective, so this was a sanity check. I guess I passed, since most of you probably realized that I lost the hand, yet recommended a raise anyway.

I have not posted at 2+2 for some years. My password got lost and I do not want to use my previous username because it will reveal my identity.

Unguarded told me that he posted the 55-hand here. I consider myself as the best 1-2 fix limit holdem player at AP. I have crushed the game the last 17 months.

I think Unguarded played A9 fine and it was quite hard to put me on presto. The main reason I limp-reraised 55 was because it was Unguarded who raised preflop and he is a good player. AP is a quite small site and against the good regulars you just do a lot of things and of course, I did not want to slowplay my monster to reveal my hand. Quite obvious?

Anyway, I think this thread lack in the understanding of how intuitive and complex shorthanded games are even at a very low limit as 1-2. As some contributors assume that I had a big pocket pair is just one big mistake. In this spot I could actually have a lot of hands, which should be obvious given the information of me as an somewhat over-aggro and tricky player. If you lack in this both dimensions, then you can't win much in shorthanded games. I would like to point out the intuitive aspect. I do not use pokertracker and I do not consider shorthanded limit holdem as a very mathematical game. When you are a beginner you probably need to play a rigid style. If you want to make a good living, you just go with your intuition and do not for a moment think that you can play perfect every hand or put your opponent on exact right holding. I think it was Chip Reese who said it in Supersystem. The mathematical right play is not always the correct play.

i would honestly be interested in hearing why you have decided to stay at 1/2 ? although i definately have not put the overlimp/reraise 55 into my game yet, you do seem to have some good points on tricky/TAG players..

so how come you dont move up ?
