Normally I do. But his VERY low AF worries me a lot tough. Have you seen him overvalueate TPGK hands?

His AF is low because his VPIP is high. That AF is actually really high for someone who plays so many hands.

This is always a pretty rough spot but against super bad opponents like these I just ask myself what I would do in the late stages of a SNG and go with it. So in this case, I think its okay.

I think I call. Just as much as this is a set, I think it's also a dummy betting out his JJ or something to try to get a fold, and then getting all uppity that you raised him, like you must've seen his JJ and you have AK, and you're just getting smart and he'll show you.

I only attribute that line of thinking to someone who's shown distinct idiocy in the past, but stats like this feel pretty distinct to me.

i-think-this-is-very-very-close.

non-minbet-donk/3bet-AI-is-a-super-strong-line-from-a-bad-player-on-a-board-like-this.

if-youve-seen-them-get-way-out-of-line-post-before-then-i-snapcall-and-theres-a-heap-of-dead-money-out-there-making-the-call-easier-too-but-i-really-think-this-is-a-set-almost-always.

50/50-IMO.

Thanks. I'm not using PT ATM, so not everything is clear to me about these stats. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would fold here. You might be ahead, but I try never to play TPTK for stacks on 25NL. I do not think it is profitable in the long run, even when playing donks like this.

This advice is far too general. Against certain players I am happy to stack off with top pair and against others I know it is a major spew.

Im stacking off here. Someone who is playing 84% of his hands is an uber fish and tptk is the nuts vs him. Okay thats an exaggeration obviously, but tptk is definitely strong enough for me to get the stacks in the middle and be happy about it.
