[PS 100NL] TP: From Riches to Rags

Ekos · #1 04-28-2007, 04:00 PM

My table stats aren't as important as the history that Villain (fatman5) and I share over the past ~125 hands, but fwiw I was running at ~30/20. His stats are ~45/10/0.4 during the first hand and ~66/10/0.4 during the second. I've been countering his game by playing solid hands in position against him, and pounding him with c-bets. He has tried to call me down light in small pots, but I've been getting the best of him. After a little bit of time, this hand comes up:

Ekos has 9d 9c (full house, nines full of eights).
Outcome: Ekos wins $213.40. SB wins $44.80. 

I instantly bet the flop, he pushed within 1-2 seconds, and I took some time before deciding to call.

After this pot, Villain begins limping slightly more hands preflop -- he doesn't seem to be on tilt, but is likely playing looser in an effort to get unstuck.

After a few more battles over small pots, this hand comes up:

Final Pot: $164.70

I instantly raised him on the flop, and he called within 1-2 seconds. I took about 6 seconds to decide what to do on the turn, and he called quickly again (note: he was not snap calling). On the river I took about 3 seconds to think before checking, and he almost instantly pushed his entire stack into the pot. This made me tank... and tank I did until my timebank expired and PokerStars made me sitout.

I have no idea how I could call his river bet, but I'd love to hear what everyone thinks his range of hands is, as the only hand I can put him on is JT.

lol

cakewalk · #4 04-29-2007, 02:19 PM

why were you c/r'ing the flop ?

against the villain ur describing i like bet/check/bet

he probably hit a straight as he could easily have 66/JT/JQs

thanks for a real response

i ended up talking to a friend in a little more detail about this hand, and we agreed that a c/r here isnt as good a play as leading out
