.25/.50 KK vs 85% VPIP

Mingdu · #1 07-10-2007, 12:52 PM

Villian was at 85% vpip over 120 hands ... nothing to sneeze at ... and was a calling station to boot.

Earlier he showed QQ on an A high mono board where I fired on turn and river after check/calling his flop bet with an AKs

How do I play this? Comments all streets please

I think you have to call the river, given the turn check and the small lead on the river.

Why did you check the turn? To induce a bluff? It doesn't appear that it was to keep the pot small bc if you were trying to do this you should just check call the river.

I am paying off a 85%'er here everytime

Bet turn.

I didn't bet the turn to keep the pot as small as possible, somewhat of a blocking/value bet on the river.

So a turn bet with a view to see where I am/get it all in is the best line?

Yea I fire the turn here against a horrible player like that, I want to keep as much money going into the pot as possible even with only one pair on such a coordinated board, if he reallyis as big of a station as you say, then we need to keep putting money in this pot. Bet the turn.

UHH, we have king high flush on the turn so I'm betting it with a lot more then 1 pair.

Definitely bet the turn. I like the river bet, and I think you have to call here.

coordi · #9 07-10-2007, 01:29 PM

To exploit a station you get as much money in the middle as you can when you feel you have the best of it. Bet, bet, bet. Thats how the hand should go.

Thanks ... maybe knowing he was calling anything put me off on the turn ... appreciate the feedback
