using a PT statistic-read
I had data-mined the following approximate stats on the Villain at 2/4:
30/20/9, 75 hands I hadn't actually seen him play; I'd just sat down on his immediate left. Hero is in CO: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 folds Villain raises Hero reraises 3 folds Villain caps Hero calls I figure he's a wild man from his stats and reraise here for value thinking I'm very likely way ahead of his range. I also don't mind isolating him and hopefully taking control of the hand. I call the cap w/out much thought because I'm already thinking, "wild man." ** Dealing the flop (9.5 SB): A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villain bets Now what? His PF cap now looks more scary, but I also see his huge post-flop aggro number. If I raise the flop, what do I do to a reraise? If I raise and he calls, what's my plan for the turn? What about just calling this flop to let him keep firing? What about calling down? (That's the WA/WB line, right?) What about a fold? |

Re: using a PT statistic-read
Firstly, I think it's important to note the tiny sample size you have on villain. His stats may mean a number of things, and treating villain as a "wild man" is ill-advised. I can recall periods where I've ran at like 40/25/3 for ~50 hands, which is totally misleading and not at all representative of my play style.
On to the hand, it seems like a standard WA/WB line to me. This will encourage villain to bet out his underpairs and minimize losses vs. an A. Below are some quick thoughts on his possible holdings, which also suggests a call down line. Hands you're behind AA - 2 combos AK - 6 combos AQ - 4 combos AJ - 8 combos KK- 3 combos QQ - 2 combos TOTAL - 25 combos Hands you're ahead JJ - 6 combos TT - 6 combos 99 - 6 combos 88 - 6 combos TOTAL - 24 combos |

Re: using a PT statistic-read
Actually, even if 75 hands is not a enormous sample size, 20% PFR and a postflop aggression of 9 is still quite aggressive.
That said, I don't think the sample size matter that much anyway, I believe this is a simple call-down, and bet if checked to. Let him do the betting when he is behind, and you lose the minimum when he does have an ace. The only problem with these WA/WB-lines is when they check to you on later streets, like on the river. Then you have to bet to make him pay to show down his JJ, but what to do when you are checkraised? Perhaps one could fold, but it still sucks. Luckily that doesn't happen very often, they ususally just bet it all the way or perhaps check/call the river [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: using a PT statistic-read
WA/WB. If we think he might be tricky and aware of WA/WB, we check behind if he checks the river. If we want to gambool, we lead out on the river but have to fold if raised.
