Top pair facing aggression 1/2

Gazzbut · #1 07-10-2006, 03:16 PM

Hi All...

Just started playing 6 max yesterday...loving it so far even though I got my ass kicked!

Villian in this hand is 33/20/6.4 over 180 hands.

Btw, what are considered TAG stats at 6max? Ive noticed my vpip is a fair bit higher than full ring.

From the flop 3-bet onwards my plan would have been to check/call the turn, and donk the river, calling a raise. But I hate that 8, so I check-call.

Here's a stats link for you:

against this villain i probably cap the flop and lead the turn. he is probably 3-betting a lot of stuff and with an AF of 6.4, he must overplay many hands.

If his aggression was lower what would you think of bet fold on the turn?

Cheers for the link Poliorcetes!

- Looks fine as played. Against a normal opponent, any further aggression on you're part would be speculative spewing.

- This Villain is so postflop aggressive that you might be able to value bet/raise/checkraise somewhere else but I can't tell that for sure from here.

Agree 6.4 AF is silly and he's overplaying... but he's also not calling down a lot (AF is bet+raise/call so it can be high because he's folding a lot as well as because he's betting a lot). If I lead and I'm ahead then with this aggression he likely folds, and if I lead and I'm behind he likely raises. I prefer playing passive for as long as possible.

you're right that AF doesn't tell the whole story. but OP should know after 180 hands whether villain has been folding a lot. i would look at his fold to flop bet and fold to turn bet stats for more info.
