[ QUOTE ]
He will be involved is so few pots he will not be a factor... [/ QUOTE ] That's exactly why I think we make the most money out of him preflop (although all comments on postflop play against him are so true). Let's enjoy some numbers: * his VPIP is (8.5). Let's round that up to 10% of hands he sees a flop with, accounting for the few times he sees a flop by checking in the BB. This assumtion seems even high, cause it should get raised a lot preflop with him in the BB. * our range against him maybe something like 15% at most, mainly hands that can flop big and for which our implied odds are huge. So with this assumptions we get involved with him 10%x15%=1.5%, that's 3 hands out of 200 on average! |

While that's true kflip, if I were playing against him I'd open up my preflop ranges substantially when he enters a pot. A player like this just seems so exploitable postflop that I would be looking to tangle well over 3 out of 200 times. Also don't forget that we can take 1 or .5BB off of him preflop, whereas we can stack him fairly often postflop.

Re: StatMonkey: -[8.5/4.6/1.9]-
Everyone else pretty much nailed it.
I want him on my left to steal blinds. I'm folding marginal/good hands to his big bets and cbetting him a lot if he calls me pf. His PF 3bets/turn raises/check raises mean playtime is over w/o the nuts or near nuts. |

Not intending to hijack the thread or anything, but how does this change if he's playing a 16/15/5 style instead?

Re: StatMonkey: -[8.5/4.6/1.9]-
Two things come to mind when I think about playing agaisnt nits:
1. I want them on my left 2. I want to raise atleast 40% of my hands while they are in the blinds (to steal) |

That's twice the VPIP and 3 times the PFR, as well as way more aggro. Your 16/15/5 is just a little on the tighter side of TAG, so play him like you would a normal TAG. Those def aren't nit stats. |

Re: StatMonkey: -[8.5/4.6/1.9]-
I was only reading the other one Mr Matrix started last night, and considered starting a new on with a 'wannabe LAG' in my database then found out it was a 2p2er [no names] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I put him on my left and openly steal his blinds with whatever, he'll often start calling but I'l still cbet but be'll out of his comfort zone even though I often have junk OOP in teh SB if I'm there. I also like him on my left because he'll be taking a seat that isn't a loosey that will float me all the time so I can play more hands IP vs the whole of the table and he will often fold when I'm CO/HJ and give me the postflop BTN and as we all know position is the shizzle. On flop I play more aggro HU often rasing or calling and stealing on the turn- but he may be a float 1 street with PP type but will likely check it down so no expensive double barrels - but this depends on the flop texture vs his range. He unlikely has many draws[less SCs/Axs hands] so checking the turn is often good with draws/1pair hands. His turn aggr, river > flop so if he calls the flop bets/raise I'm shutting down 1pair hands which are weak vs his range. ATs+, 88+ and some overvalued semi-broadway KJ,KQ,QJ as PFR range - he liekly limps Axs,small PPs. Maybe we could post some hands vs this villan as examples if anyone's got PT available. |

Re: StatMonkey: -[8.5/4.6/1.9]-
agreed, i want him one seat on my left so i can have his SB and his button always.
don't have any meaningful hands from such players as these, just checked my DB and found 2 players, 2 hands, neither elucidating. |
