Re: trying to make me fold or get it in?
[ QUOTE ]
none of you answered my question [/ QUOTE ] With just 10 hands, it's not possible to answer your question, especially since this is NL50. He could have AA/KK. He could have Q9s. Hell, he could have 72o and be hoping you'll fold. Against a complete unknown, there's just no way to so much as make an educated guess. So, you take a good hard look at what you have, which, as everyone has said, isn't much. And then you ask yourself if you really want to pay $45 so you can see what villain's doing this with. |

Re: trying to make me fold or get it in?
You have bottom pair against a pot sized raise. Could it be a pure bluff? Sure, but are you will to put up your whole stack to figure that out?
Villain could have JTs, or AK, or QQ. Not everyone is going to slow play a big hand here. |

Re: trying to make me fold or get it in?
I'd bet villian has aces. Maybe KK/QQ/AK.
When villians act like they need to get the money in asap its usually aces. |

~10 hands in, haven't played with villain before. [/ QUOTE ] No one can tell in a vacuum. Honestly there are two completely opposite types of people who do this- they have a decent hand and are afraid so they overbet hoping to take it down. They may have Aces or AK and are scared of the possibilities and don't really want a fight. OR People who do this with monsters and want to get paid. A set of kings, for instance, overbets hoping someone will look them up. The only way to tell them apart is by watching them play awhile. |

do you think AK plays this way ever? [/ QUOTE ] If I had to guess, this would be my no 1 favorite. He miniraises pf because he has no idea about bet-sizes or why you rr, he just likes his hand. On the flop he hits so he bets big. From a poker pov this is rediculous of course. He is just externalizing his feelings towards his hand thru betting. The fact that against any sane opponent the money only goes in to the middle if he is beat with this line I think he considers a "bad beat". |

Re: trying to make me fold or get it in?
A better question is, What hand are you beating? Against an unknown this is a turbo muck. Ive seen donks over bet like this with AA. But even against a wide range you are still a fairly huge dog. He could be "bluffing" with the best hand JJ,AQ,TT.

To give you guys some new info about villain, here's one hand he played that was a bit out of the ordinary: Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 6 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG is villain: $102.85 UTG+1: $9.25 CO: $49.20 Button: $25.20 Hero: $44.40 BB: $69.75 Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Villain calls, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero folds, Hero folds, BB checks. Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($2.25, 4 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Villain bets $2.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises all-in $8.75</font>, 2 folds, Villain calls. Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($19.75, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $19.75) River: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($19.75, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $19.75) Results: Final pot: $19.75 <font color="#ffffff">Villain showed 2s 2d</font> <font color="#ffffff">UTG+1 showed 6h Ah</font> I doubt Villain is completely braindead, but he is clearly not afraid to splash around. And one more hand, me vs villain: Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 6 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $49.20 UTG+1: $25.40 Hero: $44.15 Button: $69 SB: $93.10 BB: $18.80 Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls. Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($6.5, 3 players) <font color="#cc0000">SB bets $2</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $7</font>, SB folds. Uncalled bets: $5 returned to Hero. Results: Final pot: $10.5 |

Re: trying to make me fold or get it in?
taking these new hands into consideration, flop is an easy fold.
