NLCASH: Top two vs passive player
About 200 hands into a session against a pretty passive player, hasn't been putting many chips in the pot without something good as far as I could tell so far.
Full Tilt (Cash Game): $0.50/$1 NL , 2 players Fri Aug 17 02:24:26 PDT 2007 Powered by Poker Academy (Format: 2+2 Forums) SB ($138.10) <font color="#ff8c00">Hero ($372.35)</font> SB is the button. Precards: SB posts the small blind $0.50, <font color="#ff8c00">Hero posts the big blind $1</font>. Preflop: Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 active) <font color="#6495ed">SB calls $0.50</font>, <font color="#ff8c00">Hero checks</font>.

Re: NLCASH: Top two vs passive player
With the reads you've provided, re-raise to like 78 and call a push. Against an agressive opponent, I probably c/push the turn. However, villain in this hand being passive, no reason to slowplay cause he prolly has something good esp since he 5-bbet lol.

Re: NLCASH: Top two vs passive player
Hmm so you're losing to sets, 99 and QQ aren't likely because there's only one combination of each. He's most likely stacking w/ a worse two pair here. I see passive players get married to KK-AA here a lot and stack off with it.

Re: NLCASH: Top two vs passive player
With a passive player, that 3rd raise almost always means a huge hand. I discount him having AA or KK here, becase I think he would have raised preflop (he usually limped, but he had min-raised preflop a few times). The only hands I see him putting in that 3rd raise with are 44, Q4, 49, Q9, QQ (unlikely) and 99 (unlikely).
Is that 3rd raise from a pretty passive player enough of a read to maybe try to keep the pot small? Or does everyone think it's just a cooler if he has us beat? |
