0.5/1 $ Facing a Double min raise from horrible player

Lucarelli · #1 10-17-2007, 12:50 PM

I see this Guy for the first time, he's horrible.
plays 69/8 calls raises 1/3 of time. over 50 hands
Bets almost any flop with ridiculous hands.

I probably should have raised preflop, altho i figured i'd just complete for set value.
I checked cause i was 80% sure i'd get a bet.

Who is horrible?

Nice play, preflop, flop and turn.
3 mistakes at least.

first wtf, with preflop. Second, wtf on the flop. Third, yes, get the money in on the turn.

easy push

edit: I don't mind preflop ... sometime I complete too, but most of the time I raise to get the pot now or on the flop.

bet river plz, don't make fun with donkeys
Turn is good, if you pushed ... if you want fps call and c/r the river

lets leave PF for now...
what would be an optimal Flop bet?
And if called, turn bet?

I would lead out for ~3 on the flop. There is no reason to assume someone is going to bet at it.
I would lead turn again for close to the pot. Turn is pretty bad though, I'm not sure what to do if you get minraised in that spot. I would like to know his agg stats.

JQ seems very likely but he is just playing so many hands....
FWIW, I think it would be very easy to commit had we bet hard pre and on the flop. At that point it is much easier to believe he is committing with KQ or some [censored], 2pair too.

As played it is hard to believe he wouldn't bet a hand that made 2pair on turn except maybe K7. Possibly he slowplayed 2 pair on the flop.
Still, I would think he is taking Kx too far here enough to push.

Raise preflop. $4 on the flop. Shovetown on the turn.

Lucarelli · #8 10-17-2007, 03:05 PM

Cant specify agg cause i barely played with him.
I did shove turn ; he didnt have 2 pair...

Raise pf. There is a lot of dead money for you to pickup with 2 EP limpers and a BB. Why are u checking flop? Are you going for check raise? If so I think its bad because there is no indication that anyone will bet and wtf why are you giving a free card to any villian holding an 8 or QJ? I dont play this high but I gonna come right out and say that you played this hand badly. As played I get it in on the turn.

I lost my first post.

I don't entirley disagree with the preflop play. Mixing it up is okay but I would have like to rais ein this spot.

On the flop you made your hand but on a scary board. A check rasie would be okay but you must be sure someone will bet out and with those stats I don't think it will be the villian. I would rather bet 3/4 or full pot on flop.

With the turn I would push to his raise. Given the way its played half expecting him to show up with J8 with the flopped straight but I doubt I would get away from this.
