Super Passivity FTW?!!

Villain is nsd4eva, who I'll try to give as descriptive a read as possible, but it helps to have played with him.

Essentially he's super aggro, 3 bets an extreme amount, but is also super good at hand reading, assigning ranges, and value betting.

Relevant history is that he's essentially owned my soul, and probably thinks I'm a huge station that spews in terrible places.

Onto the hand.

Note that it's the dryest flop ever. C/r flop looks super strong, c/c flop and c/r turn also looks ridic strong. On the river I figure his value betting range> donk calling range due to the fact he thinks I'm a calling station (and I haven't done anything to prove otherwise).

I think this is fine. you were c/r-ing river right?

I've honestly never seen it from him before. Had no idea how to interpret it, but the absolute strength of my hand made it so I wasn't folding so it didn't really matter much except to nicely bloat the pot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

obv c/r river.

Looks ok. I definitely like flop and turn given his massive flop bet - he follows up on the the loads I imagine. I like the river check I think.

I like it.

It's also really good for balancing lightish call downs if you guys play a lot together.

Would you ever have something like ATs here (and would he put you on such a hand)? Furthermore, would he value bet any Ace in this spot?

T-God · #8 09-20-2007, 12:17 AM

If he's super good at hand reading and aggro as you say he is I'd prefer a fake blocker on the river.

nsd4eva is NoahSD. i think you played it really well. you probably get him to put you on a weak suited ace or something.
