A Common Situation at 5/10 No Limit

[PuppyFridayYall]

Say you and your opponent are playing 5/10 No Limit. You each have $1,000. You are second from button and raise $35 preflop with 99. A tricky, aggressive regular player raises to $115 in Small Blind. It's $80 to call his bet. Assume this particular opponent makes the play every now and then (fairly frequently). What do you and what percentage of the time in this spot? What if you had 1010? 44? 33? 77? What do you and what percentage of the time if you're checked to on the flop...or checked to on turn after calling low flop?

Thanks,

Jake

I call, then play poker.

I'm not trying to be a dick but you shouldn't be playing 5/10 if you are making this type of post.

you could answer the question also, and succeed (in not being a dick).

it was already answered in the first response or else i would have.

only other answer is play alot of hands and you will get better at playing postflop, this is common knowledge though.

Are you saying you call this everytime? Surely that would be a leak. Don't post if you're going to post this crap.

Jake,

I think the problem people are having with this post is that only correct answer is 'it depends'. How can you say 'what would you do on the flop?' when the answer so obviously depends on the actual flop and on the opponents tendencies with different types of hands on different types of flops.

Based on the minimal information about your opponent's play in the OP, I'd say to call with 99+, fold 88-, call a single bet on most ragged flops, fold most broadway flops, and then take it from there. If he checks, check it back and then make the best play on the turn based on what you think his flop check means.

Really, this post is pretty useless without more information. And with more information, everything is clear and this post would be pretty useless. Sorry.

yes, i call most everytime w/ 99 vs the player you described when he is making a 3x raise. i am getting good implied odds vs big hands, i have the best hand sometimes, plus i have position so i can usually play my hand pretty well vs him.

i'm not going to go through each pair you listed because all of this stuff becomes so situational and player dependent. if he is only making it 3x and w/ a wide range OOP he is asking for you to call w/ alot of various hands and outplay him.
