$16 - TT vs loose calling station

[RexWoo]

Hi,

FeNeF caprpal tunnel posts inspired me, so I copied / paste quite a few hands yesterday.

On this one, villain is a loose calling station.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2300)
Hero (t1950)
MP1 (t3005)
MP2 (t585)
CO (t895)
Button (t1825)
SB (t1590)
BB (t1350)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls t100, <font color="red">Hero raises to t400</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, UTG calls t300

Flop: (t950) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t400</font>, UTG calls t400

UTG checks, Hero checks

you played it perfectly. well done

I'd probably push the turn. 1/2 of your stack is in the pot at that point and the 8 of spades is a great card as it is very unlikely to help his hand. I think a king would check raise or lead that flop. Make him pay to hit a club on that last card.

Looks fine to me.

The guy is a loose calling stations most Kx hands will play this the same as a flush draw hand. I do like your advice and was thinking the same thing on the turn since if we were best before, the 8 didn't hurt us.

Awesomeness.

As for the hand, the main question is preflop IMO. I like a limp here, but raising surely can't be bad. Postflop looks quite standard, unless he's such a fish he's calling down with any pair. Against anyone with two braincells to rub together you played it well.

[mmorpg]

Possibly raise less preflop as your c-bet will commit you.

I think I push the turn

[RexWoo]

Pushing that turn looks good, now, but I was not able to put him on any hand.
I mean, that flop call does not make sense.

[Finnisher]

I'm weak and just limp pf. He will call your raise and there will prolly be overcards on the flop. After your c-bet and his call the pot will be huge and villain could have a lot of things. Maybe I like to make things too easy for myself but I really don't want to put about 40% of my stack in the pot only to have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Limping obv loses you value but I guess I'm willing to pay for making things easier.

[RexWoo]

k, thank you all.

end of story : Villain show QhJh (!!!) and takes the pot
