[ITILTEZ]

This is one of the very few hands where I have been unsure about the action. Any thoughts about how I played the hand?

Niterider84 isint good in my opinnion, but seems to be agresisve enough to reraise hands other then AAxx from blinds too. Also he isint terrible.
Few rounds ago I opened button for $175 he repotted to $575 from SB BB folded and I called. Flop was 843r he potted it and I raised for a pot and he folded.

Without flushdraw there its perfect. Also its a reraised pot so hero has bigger equity. But a big part of villians range is set, top two and nfldraw, neither would obvs fold. (I wonder whats ours equity vs 30% set 30% nfldraw 30% top two 10% bluff, obs villian could middle wrap that hit even with spades too..)

I dont think I get away, but is a hard spot. Good hand.

this is bad.

really bad.

w/o pt #'s and reads i assume this player has to have a clue, for discussion sake. of course he folds a lot of hands he can make that preflop raise with, but most of the time that raise is AAxx, and if he's suited in spades (worst case scenario) you're [censored].

i dont like preflop and i dont like the flop.

on the flop this play is fine on a three suit board.

this is suicide imo.

Preflop is so standard.

In the long run, if you consistently do this against an AAxx your equity plummets if you disregard the suited board. The amount of hurt you are in if he has NFD crushes your long-run equity in these situations. I wouldn't make a habit of this play.

If the stacks were deeper I wouldn't hate a c/c, not that I'd like it a ton either (he'd have to be more than 2x as deep as he is now). But if you c/c here he is riding it to the river even if you were able to show him a straight on the turn.

I sort of agree with you, but give me a better line.

Oh and preflop is pretty standard. Reraise after darwins open is sometimes good, but folding wasnt an option.

You are coinflippin against a bare set and 0.3 against the worst case scenario, why would you consider other lines against this villain? I´ve only played 2k but would imagine there isnt a player in a 3-handed 5k game this isn´t an easy push against. Expect him to call and coinflip it out but thems the breaks.

If you are really 0.3 against set + spades this is standard, I thought you would be in worse shape and I couldn't really think of a good line.

[KingDan]

I don't think he would be cbetting here intending to fold all that often, however he doesn't need to.

You're risking 4k to win 6k, and i think if called every time you prolly lose 600 or so (assuming maybe 34% equity which may be pessimistic )

If he folds this ever, you are making money. I think you can stick in and hope its not a combo hand.

So why do I see Darwinism playing at 2/4 when he's playing at stakes like these? I remember seeing him on PP and I saw him at 2/4 PLO on Stars last night.
