100NL: Float on Paired Board

Kos13 · #1 10-30-2007, 01:46 PM

Villain is ~24/3/1/50. I figured his range was narrow enough for this to be profitable, as I don't think he'll continue without QQ+, AK, or KQ. Since he's passive, I'm guessing he doesn't lead out with a big hand here, so I think I'm looking at AQ/JJ/TT here. Thoughts?

I don't like it. His range consists of premium hands and i don't think he will be able to fold it, no matter what hand you are trying to represent.

As a side note, I usually interpret half pot bets as a player looking for value. This type of player will let you draw cheaply.

Let it go after he comes out betting

can villian think? i feel with the 24 part in his stats he cant that much. i generally layout here when he dub-barrels being i dont think hes layyin out AA when we raise (tho he should).

like the idea, just dont think its the spot for it

I think there's a very good chance he has what you're representing.

These guys don't bet the turn with AQ or JJ.

Floating on flop is good, 2nd barrell is rarely a sign for weakness here. I'd let it go...

if you're trying to make him fold aces, it's a good move lol. if you're bluffing this turn, you have to auto shove any river.

He appears to be a first-level thinker.

I fold the turn if he bets $10+, but doesn't a half-pot bet on both streets seem either really weak or really strong?

(And yes, if he calls the turn and checks to me on the river, I'm obviously insta-shoving.)
