Villain is 29/22/2.0 standard 2p2er. Pretty sure he does not know Hero.

What should I do with my hand here? What am I beating but air?

I'd consider the 3 bet action before this hand if there was any and 3 betting pf is an option. I've begun folding 22-44 in the sb because it just plays so badly for me. If the pot is going to be 3way or more I'll play but not hu.

just to clarify, you're folding 22-44 in sb in a 3-bet pot, not from the sb in general, right?

What hands do you complete w/ in sb? I have been completing w/ any connector, gapper, sc, Ax, Kx, and there are enough limpers 9:1 or better, pretty much any hand. Is this ok?

You've not been aggressive at all. He could be c-betting any med-big PP through KK. The only hand you should fear is AK, AQ, AA, 99, 22, 66. Call river bet otherwise why take a c/c line?

-laggy retard monkey
-huge station retard
-decent regular
-calls tons of 3b
-never calls 3b
-cally bad but not the worst ever
-laggy bad but not the worst ever

No, I'm currently folding 22-44 in the sb in a hu pot. Ex, mp raises to 4x, co fold, btn fold, gtrhtr in the sb or bb folds.

I complete in the sb almost 0% of the time, I raise or fold. If I complete on some rare occasion, then its multiway with a small pp, sc's, Axs etc.

Folding a pair to a standard raise with 100bb+ stacks can't be good, can it? I like you're thinking overall though, John.

I would raise pf and raise flop. You have a strong hand, make some money off it

[/ QUOTE ]

Meant to ask about PF as well. I didn't raise PF because I was UTG+1 and just sat down an orbit before. 3 betting from there seems pretty strong.

Guy is like 25/19 over 100 hands, has 3 bet me habitually, probably 5-6 hands. I flatted him with 99 once &amp; c/rd the flop successfully(he folded) on a T83 flop.

Do I have to call after running this? Should I 4 bet more?

[/ QUOTE ]

You put almost 50% of your stack in the pot pf with virtually nothing.

4 bet habitual 3 betters or over shove with hands that showdown well.

Stop opening with Q9s in the CO if btn habitually 3 bets.

Find another table.

Guy wasn't a moron, I thought I had a lot of FE with my 1st 4th bet. He is 3betting super wide like suited connectors, all pairs, A9+,KJ+ or so. You're right though. I guess I have to call at that point given his likely wide range.

Depends on Villain, if I believe he is thinking I flat as well especially if possible 3bettors behind.

I hate my PF line, yes. Give me a standard in this spot.

turn... Big PPs, worse aces and draws (which all missed) will check behind on this turn way more often than they will bet. AQ+ is a HUGE part of villain's range. With this line Villain is beating HEro very often. Right? No?
