I don't get why you'd fold preflop. From what I've heard these games play super fast, loose, and bluffy.

i'm just putting the argument out there that my range is very narrow and predictable the way I was playing that night, that has me cold calling this 3-bet. so even if I'm ahead of his range, the fact that my hand is relatively face up makes it a fold preflop because my opponent will probably play very well against me

i don't think this matters enough. if you're sa ying that he's going to fold AA on 9 high, or KK on J 9 x or something, then you should be able to turn your hand into a bluff enough to show profit.

you've got psoition and you're deep with a hand that is capable of making a huge hand, so even if your range is like QQ-88 with AQs and AK and KK and AA sometimes, i think calling has to be fine, assuming position and even a decent read.

like i said, i'd call with 20k behind, but never with less than that (17.5k if tilted)

He plays well against you if you also play predictably post-flop given your preflop range. Sounds like a fun spot to coldcall the bet with ATC and rep the hell out of something postflop... besides, who cares about poker monies when you're a wallstreeter? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i like a smaller raise on the river...about 9k. I dont think he would call this w/o a king and he'd never fold a king for any ammount.

seems fine all the way to me. a little part of me wants to shove river, but i think its probably ill-advised in most situations
