Default huge pots, uncapped betting w/out the nuts vs bad players

The uncapped betting on HU streets on the Cryptos has been a double-edged sword. Sometimes I spew when behind and other times I miss bets against spewing opponents.

Hand 1: Villain is 36/12/3.2 over a small sample

2 folds, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">kimchi raises</font>, SB folds, BB calls, CO calls.

(villain has about 5 more re-raises left – do I keep raising?)


Hand 2: villain is a nutter 89/44/4.4 and sat down with what is probably his entire bankroll (~200bb). I've been (reasonably) successfully iso-raising him pre-flop and letting him bluff away his stack.

How much further am I going to take this one?

I have about 10 BB left and villain has me covered. He recently busted someone with quad 4s in an uncapped-betting pot after another TAG made Kings full on the river. A previous hand, he check-raised me on the river on a double-paired board and I re-raised with AA and won. He is a wild maniac (89/44/4.4) and makes wild bluffs. Does he have QQ or straight-flush here? Should I call or keep re-raising until all-in? I don’t want to miss bets against these wild LAGS.





Hand 3: Villain is 62/11/1.1 and seems to play more aggressively than his stats suggest, Peeling often and slow-playing big hands. He recently cold called a PFR + caller with KK.

We both have about 10 BB left.


Hand 4: only played 16 hands with villain but is currently 100/100/4.43 (!) (and infinite aggro on river). In a previous hand against me I flopped top pair jacks with a king. He had Q7o (capped pre-flop) and we capped the flop. He made a runner runner straight. He also capped the turn with 2nd pair, dreadful kicker against someone else in a later hand. Maybe he was involved in a BBV prop bet or something….

I also play no-cap, and it can be really profitable. I don't think you should overdo it without the nuts thou. If villain is close to all-in you can spend som extra bets with you strongest hands.

I think you already did to much in hand 1. As he played 55 is very much in his range. I would end it at about 6-7BB on the river.

In hand 2 you also took it too far since he capped pf and is not unlikely to have QQ. Here I would stop at 4-5BB on river.

In hand 3 you face a slowplayer and that makes it harder since you can't totally rule out KK. I think you should end it at 7BB on river.

Last hand I think you can go all-in since he spews that mcuh and a set or 2-pair seem much more likely than KT, and he doesn't seem like the guy that reads boards very well, and there's only 5 BB left in his stack and thoose are going in with a lot of worse hands than the nuts.

Only read the two first and then I stopped because they made my head explode. Dude! Thats way too much action.

I wouldnt ever go past 5 or 6 bets without the nuts unless I knew for SURE that villain is a mouth breathing downie who cant read boards. In other words I would very rarely go past 5 or 6 bets without the nuts.

Final pot: 29.95BB
<font color="#ffffff">Button shows 8c Ad</font>
<font color="#ffffff">SB shows 4h 2d</font>

So this guy reloads and you have a huge hand against him and he's re-raising you back? What are you going to do?

These are the kinds of hands I'm talking about. I want to maximise value from maniacs. That's why I try to sit next to them.

These wild pots occur relatively frequently and they are sometimes won by sets against someone spewing with top 2 pair. The set isn't always the nuts - or even top set.

The players above were all awful, except maybe hand #1 and I saw them spew with far less than the nuts on previous hands.

Maybe you should waste your time posting in BBV instead of here.

If I would see this I would think SB was dumping chips.

Dude, didn't mean to imply that you [censored] up these hands... they are legitimately crazy and I have no idea what is correct

[/ QUOTE ] He reloaded and played a turned set of 6's remarkably reservedly against another guy's flopped set of kings. Capped pre-flop &amp; turn but just bet-called the river. My post was about playing guys like this who you are just begging and waiting to play a big hand against.
