Battle Of the Blinds, Limped Pot, 3rd Nuts Deep stacked WTF?

[blunty31]

Not raising preflop here was a mistake? honest question. I normally raise 77 and up. If raised and no flop hit, and cont. bet gets called am I shutting down and folding to any further bet?

Yeah, sux on the rare occassion he has the 88 or JJ, but that's poker, gotta make that call.

Guy is a total donk with this line anyway. I seriously doubt he's that big.

You should raise alot of hands from the BB when it is folded to the SB and he completes. And I really mean ALOT of hands...

If called and cbet doesnt work yes you should probably shut down most of the time, fire a second barrel sometimes if the board is right. But like 90% of the time you won't see a flop.

I don't think it was that big a mistake in a cash game against the blinds. If there's no $ invested, I don't like raising with small pairs against a SB. They will not fold very often with $ already invested and will pay to see a flop. You played the hand fine IMO. I just hope you called..

Call, its an expensive mistake if he has jj or 88 but considering no pf raise I think you will see 222 or two pair enough to justify a call.

[/ QUOTE ]

222 or even 2 pair.....so you say call?

I think youre misreading the hand, I have a set of 4's

Alot of players think like this now, so I limp in the SB with big hands alot more often to trap them.

Your 90% number is just not true. And I really think you have your tournies mixed up with your cash games. Online, it's tough to get a SB to fold after they have completed. If I was playing against players like you who raise the SB continuosly I would limp my big hands in when we were blind vs blind. And smack you when you raised me. You get reraised and it puts you in your place quick.

I don't limp all the time from SB, but will if I'm up against a constant raiser.

[Mr_Donktastic]

Yeah, so what? You complete/rr me once and I fold and I lose $6. All I have to do is steal your SB 3 times to make up for it.

Its a profitable play in the long run...I have no doubt about that. And completing the SB HU isn't, so keep at it.

And when people complete/call form the SB I start to salivate.

[CalledDownLight]

You have to call here. Even with his passive stats he is raising 88 and JJ here almost always. I agree with raise preflop. I'm raising like 50% of hands in this situation.
