The question here is not "how would you play it?" but rather, how does your read of this player affect the hand range you'd put him on...obviously this is not a situation where we can make any sure conclusions, so a percentage guess is the best we can hope for... Live 10-200 spread limit game, 9 handed. Fairly tight game with careful players, no obvious fish. Hero is probably the best player at the table. Player A may be weak, or just unlucky. Seems to overplay his hands a bit. Player B just sat down and posted to play his first hand. He came from another table (didn't see which one) and tried to start with $200 in chips until the dealer informed him that the min buy-in is $400, so he bought $200 more. UTG+2 Player A: $750. UTG+3 Hero: $1600. UTG+4 Player B: $400. Blinds $10. Player A calls, Hero raises to $50, Player B calls. Flop: Ks Jd Th Player A checks. Hero bets $100. Player B calls and tries to go all-in for his remaining $250 until dealer reminds him that the max bet is $200. Player A reraises $200. Hero is holding AA. What I want to know is not what he should do, but what should he make of the action so far, especially Player B: Is Player B: a spaz? trying to isolate hero? overplaying a fair hand? betting a big hand? other and how does the estimated likelihood of each of these change with the situation? Is Player A with his big check-raise: being a spaz? overplaying a fair hand? betting a huge hand? trying to isolate B? other |

I thought we were toast against that range, but seems we have oods to get it in. |

Re: Read the new guy
You can't stove it without considering the 3rd player. Even if he's a spaz, he could have most of your outs blocked. |

Re: Read the new guy
Third player has 40bb and initially tried to buy-in for 20bb. He probably can't even spell "poker".

After looking silly with my short buy-in, I figured the most likely way to triple up was to throw all my money in and hope I looked like...well, basically I was hoping they'd think what you thought. Unfortunately, Player A knocked out the pocket aces with his silly reraise. |

gotcha? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, yeah...but back to the original question: would you be more likely to call a big raise from a player who did what I did? Or should I have slowplayed it? |
