Villain is cimnfimw, who is up a lot at SNGs but plays a little differently than most 2p2ers. He runs 18/11 or so 7-9 handed. I can NOT put him on a hand here.

78cc or 67, 57, or even j7s could fit. I lay it down.

Jack-in-a-box · #3 05-26-2007, 01:28 PM

Button can only be raising here having a seven in his hand. Prly hes got 7c8c? U should fold, unless u have free 300 chips

buttons gotta have like 87cc or 75s imo. something with a 7. sick river

We're calling preflop because...?

Fold river me thinks.

Because we have position and it's a suited ace with a few limpers in front. And contrary to popular opinion (mine), ryanghall is not a complete and total nit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't see it as terrible, either, but I guess it seems pretty borderline. Would you call if it was Lvl 2?

I see it as possibly a standard call in cash or MTT, though.

suzzer99 · #8 05-26-2007, 03:20 PM

Well one thing is if you play as much as ryan and at higher stakes, you have to open up your game more, otherwise you become too predictable. Lvl 2 I would always call, lvl 3 depends on how I feel. One more limper or on the button probably for sure.

Also this could just be one of my stupid theories, but on the weekends players are soooo much easier to stack in the early rounds, it's worth it to see some speculative flops. Not so much during the week where you can't stack guys with TP2K all that often. Also it helps to have 10k sngs under your belt to keep from getting stacked yourself. After a while through sheer experience you just know when you're beat. But again, I could just be running hot.

MikeMcQ1 · #9 05-26-2007, 03:56 PM

I would expect at higher stakes, that he doesn't get paid off very often when he hits a flush. I suspect if you are calling at Lvl 3 with this, it's pure spew.

i cant pu him on a hand either but it doesnt matter. we are way behind without a 7
