40/80 live. Raised on turn by a passive player...

[Garland]

Location: Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA
Stakes: $40/$80
Players: I’m a bit disenchanted with my no-limit game and it wasn’t playing big. I see a 3 or 4 handed $40/$80 limit game (with walkers) that I thought I could exploit after scouting the action. In addition, I saw mikel playing and decided to see how he played (made some astounding plays, I’ll say). The game was pretty good to start, and it got to 6 handed by this point several hours later (mikel had left by that point).

Principal Players:

HJ – Loose passive player. Plays somewhat scared. He will raise his good hands pre-flop, but does a ton of limping.

Button – Loose aggressive: Pre-flop raising range is high. Loves to bet with no hand. Is destined to go broke.

BB – I am here. Loosened image due to some casual pre-flop raises.

Preflop action: (1.5 small bets, 6 players)

HJ limps, Button raises, I see K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and call.

Flop action: (6.5 small bets, 3 players): K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I check, HJ checks, Button bets, I raise, HJ cold calls, Button mumbles, shows his cards to his neighbor and says “would you call with this?” and folds.

Turn action: (5.75 big bets , 2 players) :Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I bet and HJ raises. I ???. FWIW, I didn’t put him on AJ since he would have raised it pre-flop. Same goes with KQ.

Comments appreciated. Results to come.
