Interesting Hand (NLSNG)

[dboy23]

What I meant by that was that he is aggressive enough. He floats way way too many flops so his range is still super super wide after the flop.

[dboy23]

also I cant see what you are quoting in that first part.

He could be a great player, but right now his game is a bit too aggressive, and he can't ratchet it down when he needs to.

ok so how do I work out what his range needs to be for this to be a breakeven call?

I am calling 785 to win 1325. So I need 29.6% equity against his range to make a breakeven call right?

I did (785/1325)/2. I hope that is right.

Messing with pokerstove now. If I give a range that doesn't include kings or monsters I am way ahead. I'm going to try giving him a more favorable range and seeing what the stove says.

[cwar]

Definitely include monsters, his sudden slowing down is super suspicious.

[dboy23]

ok here is a range I tried. I suppose a King could be in there so I put all kings in their, expect for AK of course.

KK-QQ,88,33,A8s,A8o,K2s+,K2o+,J8s,T8s,98s,J8o,T8o,98o ,84o+

my Q9 is ~40% against that range, which is more than enough to call (remember I get 1325 If I make the 785 call).

I also think he is capable of doing this with an 8.

dboy this hand is hard enough that I'd have to be there in the moment to make this decision. Sorry that doesnt help I know but this is a spot where u really need an unadulterated read.

I'm starting to think that too. At the time it happened I just felt that I should call. Of course I don't always trust this feeling, so I felt the need to post it.

Haven't read all the replies, just runned through it.

Cwar's is right about the good general rule in CB'ing 120 instead.
I usually bet turn also, but this is ok.
River is almost never a check against any villain. You will loose a lot of value if you don't bet it!
Also, against this type of player, it seems like you should call a bit lighter, hence your thoughts about this hand.

Can I ask why you normally bet the turn? A river bluff is fairly likely with this type of villain.
