NL25 - a few hands. Am I losing my mind?

HotdogPoker · #1 06-17-2007, 11:07 PM

A few hands for comments. Session did not start well, and got worse as every fish started hitting their hands and I think I might have played some hands wrong as a result. Comments on all streets for these hands are welcome. Any general comments on how to play this specific type of loose/floaty-passive villain also appreciated.

Hand 1: Villain is 54/16/0.4. Has not shown down that often, but frequently floats the flop with who knows what. Willing to call down with any piece. My read was that he'll put in large bets with made hands, but I can't say for certain that I wasn't getting a bit of MUBS from earlier beats.

Hand 1: Easy call with your unlikely straight. You're beating his range of 2pair/set/flush. Villian made it cheap, so call. I'd be tempted to raise, but the flush makes it unlikely you'll get paid off by a worse hand.

Hand 2: Good fold.

Hand 3: Fold.

I'd certainly call the 1st hand, his play is consistent with having a flush but there are other hands in his range as well.
With a 4 straight on the board he's not calling a re-raise without at least a ten so a call is fine I think.
I'd play hand 2 the same as you did.
On the 3rd one, if he floats a lot like you say then maybe I might fire a 2nd barrel but meh. I might just play the way you did and fold the turn too.

hand 1 and 2 are pretty straightforward imo

hand 3 is either c/f or bet.
