NL50 Blank hits turn, opponent wakes up and confuses the hero
My table image is pretty TAG. I've been taking down pots w/o a showdown for quite some time as I had previously been showing down with the winning hand. Villain is disgustingly loose and passive: 64/7.04/.4.
He and I have only played in one other hand which I played a pocket pair rather passively against him. If it helps I'm at: 18/11/1.8 Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players LeggoPoker Hand History Converter SB: $108.30 BB: $51.40 UTG: $39.90 CO: $48.65 Hero (BTN): $92.95 Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN) 2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2</font>, SB folds, BB calls $1.50 Flop: ($4.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $3</font>, BB calls $3 Turn: ($10.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">BB bets $6</font>, Hero calls $6 River: ($22.25) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">BB bets $40.40 and is All-In</font> I'm confused about the turn bet and then I guess ultimately the river, but I'd appreciate any comments on the preflop raise and the flop bet. |

Villain is passive. Villain is betting. We have ace high. I am getting the [censored] out of here.

I mean seriously: What situation would you need to call down a bluff against a total moron who doesnt know how to bluff properly? |

Re: NL50 Blank hits turn, opponent wakes up and confuses the hero
Pretty much.
Right now you are digging yourself into a hole without a latter. Dont worry about picking off bluffs with air. Letting the donk think he can bluff in this situation sets him up to do it later when you can stack him. And he probably has you beat anyway. I could contemplate a call here with 99, TT, 88 maybe as bluff catchers, but his line screams a 4 or 2 pair. |

Re: NL50 Blank hits turn, opponent wakes up and confuses the hero

I guess i'm hellbent on getting to a better level of hand reading/player reading and i really nailed this one, or maybe i just made a lucky guess and was right :/... |

I'm probably folding to the turn donk, unless he smart enough to think that this is probably the driest board possible and was gonna stop and go you.

Re: NL50 Blank hits turn, opponent wakes up and confuses the hero
Is there such a thing as a value call/value reraise? Any other time, had there not been the sudden action on the part of the opponent, I'd be VB'ing the [censored] outta this.
In other words, is there ever a situation where we make value calls against a ridiculously loose passive player? |

Re: NL50 Blank hits turn, opponent wakes up and confuses the hero
maybe i should rephrase this: how often against an opponent like this should we be calling down against a bluff?
If we should always be VB'ing when we lead the action, why shouldnt we be doing the same thing in these situations? |

We don't call because generally, passive villains don't bluff.
