50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
Villain is VERY AGGRO over 400+ hands (21/18/4.6 and is a sizeable loser over those many hands *5 BI's*).
I'd appreciate comments on all streets, up to and including the river. Comments to follow: Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 4 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter) <font color="black">Hero (SB): $71.85</font> BB: $100.50 UTG: $72.20 BTN: $21.40 <font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 Players) <font color="red">UTG raises to $2</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6.50</font>, BB folds, UTG calls $4.50 <font color="black">Flop:</font> ($13.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero bets $10</font>, UTG calls $10 <font color="black">Turn:</font> ($33.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players) Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $20</font>, Hero calls $20 <font color="black">River:</font> ($73.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero ???</font> Dude's been super aggro, so 3betting here is standard, although I loathe QQ. So he calls the 3bet, nothing shocking. I make a good bet on the flop and he calls...hmmm ok. Turn I decide to let him take over and see what he'll do. Ok, he bets 2/3 pot...Is he really calling preflop with AT or JT? Not with those stats. TT, KK and AA are possible, no? But I'm ahead a good bit here too no? So I call with the intention of maybe pushing a brick river, so that if he does have AA or KK, maybe I get him to lay it down? But backdoor clubs got there...ugh...thoughts? |

Re: 50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
He could be betting a JJ/99-77.
If he's super aggressive, you could just check call, to get value from his pockets, since I doubt he would call a sizable riverbet with them. I don't think you can push him off a better hand, the way this was played, and against a thinking aggressive player I don't think a block bet is a good idea. Check and evaluate. Calling a riverbet would be based on feel/reads here. |

Re: 50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
I fold to turn bet here. I think AA is the lowest hand you can look him up with here. Given his aggression it's such a toss up - I don't think betting river is a huge leak, but against any tighter of an opponent it would be. I could be way off - I'd like to see what others say on this hand.

Re: 50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
Your thought process is good. I'd disregard backdoor clubs for the most part, I doubt he's betting with AK on the turn for fear of getting c/rai and blown off his hand. I see him having 77-99 or JJ here; if he's as aggrotarded as the numbers suggest he's getting it in preflop with KK or AA.
I'd c/c a reasonable river bet here. This is played well I think. |

What is this a good LAG villain doing against a viliant TAG hero on a flushed and boated board?
The way I've been running, pushing with 98dd and getting me to fold. |

Re: 50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
exactly, do you think he calls 8 that much more than 10? I doubt it which is why I bet closer to pot for value. At least in the Microstakes where everyone is a calling station

Re: 50NL: QQ....am I ahead of his range?
I would bet/fold turn unless he's capable of bluff raising you in this situation, you might get a little less value from his pocket pairs lower than yours but you take the play away from him and you'll rarely fold a winner
