Re: The Well: 23act
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] What is your hand range for calling raises in the BB? For example, say a 4x raise from a typical TAG from UTG, CO or BTN? [/ QUOTE ] Vs an UTG open I have good implied odds and will call with small and medium pocket pairs. I will generally fold AJ, KQ type hands to an UTG open from a solid player. Vs a CO and BTN open raise I fold small (88-) pocket pairs since it’s unlikely I have the correct implied odds to try flop a set. Conversely, I will almost always 3bet hands like ATs+, KJs+ since they are ahead of the villains open raising range. [/ QUOTE ] I'm a little surprised you would rather re-raise KJs and fold 77. Can you go into a little detail about how you play vs. a decent TAG when you re-raise hands like ATs or KJs and they call. Say flop comes J74 rainbow and you make a c-bet. How do you react if they min-raise? How do you react if they call?

What would you recommend as means of furthering one's game to an aspiring 50NL player looking to beat up MSNL? [/ QUOTE ] Review your sessions. Post hands. Join cardrunners. Recognize when you are not playing well and stop playing – this is real hard [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] 23act - you mentioned that you will fold all pocket pairs < 88 when it is raised from CO or Button and you are in the blinds vs a good regular. What hands do you call then in this spot vs a regular assuming its just you and him? Since you said you raise ATs+, KJs+, and I'm guessing you 3bet 88+ too. [/ QUOTE ] I’m rarely calling OOP vs a good regular. I will do it now and then with KQ, AJ type hands and make moves on a lot on flops.

[/ QUOTE ] In Brian Townsend’s words: “this is where poker gets interesting, you reraise light, get called and flop something”. Without a read I would shut down after a cbet w/ KJ on the J74 flop. Also, when I miss the flop, I check a lot of flops which are likely to hit his calling range eg. KJx and I check flops on which he is unlikely to fold small pocket pairs eg. 427

[/ QUOTE ] yep those are two good examples. also, the looser the villian calls 3bets, the more flops you should fire at [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
