Live 2/4

[Aaron W.]

A friend came into town this last weekend, and so I played some 2/4 with him as he was clearing his poker discount at the Luxor.

It's a generally loose-passive game, with most flops going 5+ handed for one bet each. I limp ATo in MP after another limper, there's a caller behind me and a late position raise by an older man who is basically still unknown to me. I think it was 6 handed to the flop for two bets and I was in the middle of the pack.

The flop is AQx. Checked to the raiser who bets. I call and one other player calls. The turn is a K, and it's checked to the raiser who bets again. I call and the other player folds.

The river is a brick and I check-fold. I'm not sure how much I like it because I have no specific read on this player, but the general table loose-passiveness tipped me into folding. Basically, I didn't think he was 3-barreling with JJ or smaller pairs, and I didn't think he was raising A9s or worse preflop, so I felt I was pretty screwed and just gave it up.
