25NL, A3 sooted in a reraised pot

[Antinome]

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 4 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $26.05
BB: $12.15
<font color="black">Hero (UTG): $40.00</font>
BTN: $25.95

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 Players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $1.00</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">SB raises to $2.50</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $1.50

Button is super-tight. I'm stealing blinds. reraise is too small to fold and I think he's tired of me stealing constantly.

<font color="black">Flop:</font> ($5.25) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $2.00</font>, Hero calls $2.00

hmmm.. TPBK gutshot in a reraised pot.

<font color="black">Turn:</font> ($9.25) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $3.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero ?? pushes??</font>

he's attempting to be taggy but coming off weakish. and hasn't adjusted to 4 handed play. I'm raising 75% and hitting flops.

hero pushes... gutshot and flush draw...

[jmgambler]

You have some FE, the turn bet seems weak, I am honestly not sure? I am tempted to call in position, but this might be weak, interested in other posts

[tiger_hall]

i hav no idea what he has got... his play is awful.. at an absolute shot in the dark i would put him on pockets between 99-KKK... solely on the reason that he is betting so small that he is scared of the ace... this sounds ridiculous i know but this happens alot with newbs

[Antinome]

so if I'm already ahead a big part of his range but behind the rest of it with FE versus part of what I am behind ...

that's the question.

[shyturtle27]

Raise it up! Turn lead's pretty weak and it seems like he doesn't want to shut down or commit too many chips to the pot. You've got a combo and MIGHT be ahead any way. Calling's too passive here while folding is weak espeacially 4-handed.

[tiger_hall]

tbh this opponent completely sucks at poker and this is why micro stakes is impossible to win money...
this person is an idiot and i rele dont understand what he has got

[Antinome]

no, I think your read is right, I belatedly put him on 99+, some chance of AT+ played badly.

And I pushed, but I'm thinking maybe I should have let 99+continue to put money in the pot.

that's a big LOL. players like this are pure profit.

I think a push in this particular situation is -ev. What exactly do we want fold equity against...Any better ace/sets are calling the push given Hero's image. Smaller pockets only have an outside chance of calling a push. Any club gives us the nut flush and any 2 gives hero a straight so there aren't too many scare cards for hero to worry about. Calling and having another smaller card on the river gets value from a mid PP + keeps us getting burned from better aces/sets with pot control.

I'd just call. With position, his fishy style, and your image, you wlil get paid if you hit. Besides, if hes milking a monster horribly like alot of fish your just gonna get it in a huge dog.
