Default Re: Question 29

I got 124 but got that bankroll question because I didnt read it right. I heard that to play STT's your bank roll should be more than 40 times the buy in... I thought cash would be the same. But I was thinking max buy in was $100 and not $1000..

I would like to get in on the discussion of some of these. I got a 101 which I'm ok with. i think I have good natural ability but there is a side to the game that 2+2 has introduced to me. I'm down for more questions.

Default Question 31

10/20 NL cash game. $2,000 stacks.

You limp UTG with: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Player on your left raises to $100. He is a tight and aggressive player. He's willing to make big bluffs and big calls. Folded around back to you. You re-raise to $360. He calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

You bet $320. He calls. Turn is: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]


You check. He checks. River is: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]


You bet $600. He calls. Your image is tricky, tight and aggressive. Your opponent has seen you show down some bluffs in the past, but doesn't consider you a maniac.

I went with KK.

1. I dont think he has AK. We have AK, and there are 2 Aces on the flop. Pretty sick if he has the case Ace and a King.

2. I think he has KK, as it looks like he is trying to keep the pot small - not sure if we have the Ace or not.

3. I dont think he would call a re-raise with 44, and then not bet the turn or even raise the river?

4. Same logic as above, with the pocket 4's.

Default Re: Question 31

AK seems pretty unlikely. Its a plausible explanation for the pre flop action, but he isnt going to reraise on the flop or bet on the river? Sure he could be trapping, but then he is going to just call down the river bet? I dont see that at all. The only hands he is afraid we could have would be A4 A8 or A2, and that is so unlikely any aggressive player wouldnt play such small ball with AK. And, in any event, there are only 3 ways in the entire deck this hand could have been delt once we see the board. Its just statistically unlikely on top of all of that.

44 is out based on the pre flop play unless he loves to take big risks. But if he does, and he played it, it seems like he would have pressed it once he hit the set even with the scare aces.

88 could be a stretch for the pre-flop play, but he has chrome plated balls if he called the 320 on the flop.

KK seems the best explanation. He is playing small ball on the chance you are bluffing an Ace, which alot of people would do seeing this board. Unfortunately for him, this time you arent. Also, statistically, its twice as likely he would be dealt this hand over AK, the next best candidate.

KK is my vote.

In a full ring game, AT offsuit is typically a losing hand from early position for most professional players.
