Villain is 22/19 with a PF AF of 3.6 after 200 hands.

First of all, do you make this call PF? I have seen him numerous times earlier raise like this with things like ATo (one in which he beat my KK). Later he did the same with A7s.

I think pf is the only thing worth discussing here because the rest of the hand kind of plays itself. In short, oop its tricky to play suited connectors in a reraised pot, especially if villain auto c-bets every flop. Here it looks like he genuinely has KK.

I'll usually give it up preflop if OOP. Call if he sucks postflop or is agro-donkeytard.

You should still be folding this preflop most of the time.

Chubbers · #5 01-02-2007, 08:32 AM

What about if he pops it up from the blinds so i still have position, is it a call PF?

Daddy Warbucks · #6 01-02-2007, 08:37 AM

It's 50/50, but if you're not a very good post flop player, i'd generally just let it go.

even if he sucks its still pretty tough to extract, and you are putting in 1/8th of your stack pre

many of the flops you like you are still drawing, where you don't mind putting some money in, but you aren't really making back lost ev from the preflop call

you don't flop 2pr/trips/flushes/straights/combodraws all that often

Calling the re-raise OOP when you are not deep is a pretty big leak. Pre-flop is an easy fold in position and super easy out of it.

Cheers bottomset. I don't normally play this at all, but i was planning on playing him more than the cards if i missed. BTW, that gif of yours is freaky.
