A squeeze with AJ

Reni · #1 11-01-2007, 07:48 PM

The button is 24/20 with an attempt to steal of 40%. These stats are only over 120 hands and mostly from another session as he has only been at the table for a few orbits. I have no read on him other than these stats.

The SB is a donk playing at 30/10.

How do you guys feel about preflop? - what's your default here?
What sort of line(s) do you take post flop in this situation?

Blinds: $1/$2
6 players

UTG: $130.50
UTG+1: $269.60
CO: $197.44
Button: $217.05
SB: $282.23
Hero: $205

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, Button raises to $8, SB calls, Hero raises to $32, Button calls, SB folds.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($72, 2 players)

Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($148, 2 players)

bet/call flop as played I check river.

anything other than c/c on the flop seems pretty bad w/ this particular villain.

turn seems standard given flop play.

river, ehh... I'm not really sure. you've done a pretty good job repping KK so far, I'd probably check it to him again and call any bet.

standard squeeze, you crush his range.

calling isn't horrible, as you stand a better chance of stacking the donk, but are gonna get bluffed off alot.

3bet > call here > fold

postflop is fine depending on how you play in 3bet pots.

if you always bet A hi boards as a bluff, and always check when you hit, it is bad, but it is fine as part of a balanced strategy

not sure about the river bet. i prefer about $40 as a valuebet/induce a shove, or a bigger bet repping a bluff ( a shove pretty much)

this is horrible. you can't bet/fold in a 3bet pot with top pair against an unknown TAG

What is his range?

theplux · #10 11-01-2007, 09:37 PM

I play the same but i c/c river to induce random bluff since he checked back on turn.
