Default Re: $60 - BVB - If I wanted to fold all day I\'d work in a doily factor

FWIW - I pushed, villain didn't think very long and called with KJs. Certainly lending credence to the check-and-value-bet approach.

I've been racking my brains trying to figure out exactly what is going through villain's minds when they do stuff like this. Here is the best I can come up with: "Well I'd rather limp and see a flop, but if I have to call a push I will." Sound close?

Yes. It's called "Loose Weak". The vast majority of players on Party think this way on the vast majority of the hands they play (although fewer at the higher levels). I imagine it's close on Stars.

And the way to beat loose weak players is to value bet them to death.

Let that be a lesson to you, son. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I go allin here most of the time, unless I have good reason to think my opponent could be trapping, which is very rarely.

jesus, given your read, i still push very quickly. i mean, put him on a range that makes this push -EV and how often does he hold one of those hands? my god you have QTo heads up. do you realize how good your hand is?

btw, most of the time when i see a calling station it applies to post flop and not to a push here. so unless you think you can really outplay him enough to make a big cEV gain, i push PF.

Push PF will usually work - seems to work best when opponent is in the mold of complete pf/auto-bet flop player. At least if you had seen that kind of action before, you'd be certain of pushing pf.

A calling station is completing with close to 100% of hands here. Push.
