A small hand reading lesson - Page 3

People are making far-reaching assumptions about how aggressive Villain with only 28 hands worth of stats to go on.

Reading way too much into a couple orbits of play is a mistake of greater magnitude than capping/not capping the flop and/or turn.

66 or 77

And to make my point: Villain showed A2o for Ace-high on the river!

I think it is wise to always keep in your mind that your opponent can have something besides the hand he is representing, even when you think you have a reasonable read.

I can see what you're getting at but I tend to assume that any given player is incapable of this, until after I see them make a play like this. Even then I tread carefully. With those hole cards, that board and action, villain shows A2o such an infinitesimally small amount of the time that it shouldn't really figure into our thinking. So ya, villain could have anything at anytime, but you can't give much credit to these types of holdings without significant reads imo.

With those stats T8 (since u post it AA). Cap flop, bet/call turn. I think capping the turn is spew.

cap the flop dude.

anyway he's going to show you AA, KK, 96, T8, or 85.

edit: JJ never, 77 never, 76 never, 72 never, J9 fairly unlikely

why 76 never?

This thread is pointless. All it needs now is to have Ed's thread linked in (unfortunately, I'm sworn to never link that in to anything ever again).

Your flop-to-turn line is standard for an experienced player against an apparently loose opponent; your turn cap is pretty spewish. There is really no lesson to be gleaned from the fact that Villan showed down garbage, given that a) Hero didn't have any sort of read that Villan would play garbage like this, or in fact any read at all; and b) Hero wouldn't have played this hand any differently if there had been such a read.

save the micros

I'd say: T8, 66.
