200NL 2Pair vs Below Avg Player

[viper930]

Villain in this hand posted the big blind in UTG for some reason, wasnt trying to isolate him but trying to steal his post. BB and SB were squeaky tight and folded their blinds to raises almost every single time. I realize that preflop is not even close to standard but thats not the point.

u were tryin to steal 1 lonely limpers blind without a read on the poster? doesnt seem that +ev to me.

Well, in fairness...posting UTG is pretty bad. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yea, but you want to have some kind of hand to play with when they call. I think it is important b/c it's partially the reason your in this tough spot in this hand. Raising with that hand pf has to be a minor leak IMO.

lol, hopefully this settles this preflop junk.

SB and BB both had fold blind to steal %'s of over 90%. UTG had missed a few hands and decided to post UTG, his call PFR stat was 14%. If I were to always do this in this situation against any opponents, then I would agree that it'd be a leak, but in this case I think raising is +EV.
