Tough Spot with TPGK vs Skywalker

cwar · #1 05-15-2007, 04:50 PM

For those of you who dont know Skywalker he is a huge donator in the big games. I believe he regularly plays 100/200nl HU (he has -44% ROI with an average stake of $850). He seems passive so far and called a flop bet with JT on an A86 board and never stabbed so he is obviously pretty bad.

If the guy is truly that bad I would fold here. Does he bluff raise a ton or anything? Does he raise PF on button?

If he's this passive and this bad this is a pretty ugly situation and I think you need to fold.

Elaborate on the JT on A86 board a bit more. I don't think it's always a bad play.

I think you can afford to fold this here.

He check called the flop and then checked it down OOP no draws.

I probably fold this unless he's bluff happy bad. You're ahead of his bluffs and semi-bluffs but I think he has a made hand far more often. I find a better spot to make a stand. (but I'm kind of weak tight at times like these so I could easily be wrong curious what other people think)

I think this is a fold, waiting for a better spot against him is probably a good idea

Hi,
For me easy fold

As I currently play HU with Buy-in of $O.5, I face some terrible players and this is the typical move of a bad player who just found his flush.
If he is even worse than a typical bad player than he could have TPTK.

Of course we need more info as how he perceives you at the table...
