Hero?

What should I do on the flop and what should I have done preflop?

[Mingdu]

I fold preflop ... bet 90 on the flop ... fold to a reraise

check it down if called and nothing hits on other streets

fold preflop

[RexWoo]

Fold preflop.
Check / fold flop, what else ?

[BDPOD]

Playing these types of hands puts me in situations that I don't need to be in. For me, this is an instafold pre-flop.

As played, I would bet 60-90 post flop and fold to reraise. Against someone who is being very aggressive, I need to have a hand before I try to make a stand.

It seems that check-folding, gives you no chance to win the pot vs a very aggressive player, but there is no further risk either.

FOLDING PREFLOP HERE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWFUL.
I can't possibly describe how bad it is. You are getting 4.5:1 and you have hand which is beating his opening range.

gdam ... all this talk of uber tight early has turned me into a nit in the highest degree

thnks

I don't fold preflop for one bet. Pot bet the flop and get out if he plays back?

[BDPOD]

I don't claim to be the best player so I try to avoid situations that make me out think myself (and this would be one of the situations.)

If I was sure that I could out play this guy after the flop, then I would be apt to be in the pot.

[BDPOD]

What should happen if he plays back?

call PF is uber standard. leading flop is ok, you can check also...whatevs
