$1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street
Effective stacks are $300ish
Villain in this hand is a solid TAG who I played against when I was in Vegas last month. We have been at the table for close to 3 hours and haven't tangled yet. Hero is dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the button Folds to villain who opens for $17, which was his standard. He never open limps so his range here is wide A+face, PP, Suited B-ways and occasionally a SC thrown in. Hero ???? Only the blinds are left to act... Give me your plan if the flop: 1) Contains an A or a K 2) Contains a Q 3) Is all under cards

Reraise to $60 preflop.
Flop: 1) I'd lead for $50 if he doesn't bet. I'd fold to a bet. 2) I raise if he bets and lead for $50 otherwise. 3) Flat-call a bet and re-evaluate on turn, or lead for $50.

Re: $1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street
I would reraise. Pot is already $20 and stacks aren't deep enough where you'll have much value in deception with your mid pair postflop, yet deep enough that you don't feel great getting it in on the flop or later against a decent tag. Pretend you're playing 2/4 with 75bb stacks. Calling is okay too offcourse. I hate plans btw.

Re: $1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street
isolate pre
(the following assumes turn and river are blanks) bet A or K flop if checked to (call if he leads) turn: check, fold to bet river: check or call (fold to pot bet) If Q on flop, same as above, but bet 1/2 pot turn (or reraise all in), get it in on the river If undercards on flop, call/bet flop (i don't like a raise) Bet 1/2 pot on turn or call a bet call/1/2 pot on river

Re: $1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street
Hero makes it $60 straight. I assume that he is going to simply call the re-raise in this spot for there to be any meaningful discussion.
I'm going to bet most every flop for the same amount, with the difference being that I'll be in small pot mode with an A or K on the board and big pot mode with a Q. With all undercards, it will certainly depend on the drawiness of the board and how we've seen villain play combo draws. I'm never really a fan of betting all three streets with unimproved QQ against a decent player as sooner or later, he's going to realize what you have and you won't get any value.

Re: $1/$2 Hand from MGM - Play Each Street
Villain is a solid TAG who knows how I play. He knows that I like to see flops and outplay people post flop.
He would be able to fold many hands I crush that have little hope to out-flop me (but could flop nice 2nd best hands) and he would 4-bet (or push) anything like AK and JJ+ I smooth called and the blinds folded. Flop is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villain bets $30, Hero ????
