BVB rope toss - stars 10/20

donger · #1 08-23-2006, 02:34 PM

I've been taking the aikido approach to blind defense vs aggro peeps lately. Is this taking it too far?
VIllain is 39/24/5.0 after a miniscule sample, but is obviously very aggro. Should I be bet-calling this river?

After miss on the turn i sheepishly miss the river as well.

I didn't really 'miss' the turn, I was check-calling the whole way.

The checkthrough obviously changed things, I probably donk if no Q or A on the river.

Is this taking the concept of going limp too far?

Wait, you weren't going to c/r? If you're not gonna c/r the turn then 3bet the flop.

Doesn't this really open my nose up? My hand really isn't that great considering the board. This guy seems really aggro and probably capable of pulling some tricky stuff.

I think the only hand you should worry about is 9T - he 3 bets anything else pf. I'm not really scared of anything.

I would 3bet this on the flop and only go into check/call mode if my opponent puts in another raise. Yes, this board is fairly scary for you, but it is also scary enough that your opponent won't want to get too antsy with a mediocre hand.

Against an opponent like this, I prefer the Akido method on particularly dry flops that have helped me. In this case, your opponent is more likely to be taking a shot at you, but if you play back he'll probably fold since the flop probably didn't help him.

Just my opinion...

Can you or someone else please explain what you mean by aikido approach.

Thanks.
