Facing aggressive opponent on 10NLHE, SB vs BB
BB: mrlane30: $8.29
CO: metamorphis: $11.06
BN: threeapple: $10.44
metamorphis folds, threeapple folds, Eugine1988 calls $0.05, mrlane30 raises to $0.20, Eugine1988 calls $0.20
In neutral normal situation against unknown opponent, I would raise this hand preflop in SB, folding to 3 bet, and cbet almost any flop and give up to any aggression unless my hand has equity and/or could improve.
But in 888Poker 10NL games I feel most players are very crazy aggressive players and the chances of getting 3Bet by villains air and good hands is very high, therefore I want to just see a flop and let the crazy guy bluff when I pick up equity for the hand.
On the flop I just don't believe that Villain has any hand whatsoever because I always get bet into in virtually every flop, and if I bet myself, I very often get called or raised, and in future streets theres always more action.
On the turn, I believe I can catch a lot of good cards by the river to call Villain down with, because I believe villain is capable of bluffing in this spot very often.
On river I do not believe opponent has the straight and decide to bluff because I think the way I played the hand, it looks as if I was drawing, and it seems a lot of draws got there by river. But I think, my opponent smelled my bluff and rebluffed me.
This seems to be a big problem on 10NL tables, people are freaking crazy with all the bluffing. Perhaps the way to beat it is to only show up with a hand every time, maybe.
Showing up with a hand seems to be very profitable at 10NL 888 poker, although, opponents seem to shut down often after a pot gets very big. So, I find it very tough, but perhaps still exploitable game. But it is just very strange, seems like just really crazy aggression people have, absolutely no fear of raising with air and bluffing when they feel I may not hold the nuts.

I would say
Fold PF better than limp/call because you are scare he 3bet you.
"On the flop I just don't believe that Villain has any hand whatsoever" : yeah you don't trust him but his non-pair hands have more equity than you, so what's your plan oop ?
C/f flop, you have almost no equity (+ some reverse if you hit 9 or J in latter streets). If you want make a play, just c/r then but by c/calling you put yourself in a lot of horrible situation because you are oop and vilain is unknow (and your hand suck).
"I believe I can catch a lot of good cards to call Villain down with": 6 for TP and 4 for straight it's not "a lot" and some of these card will complete the flushdraw or can help him catching 2 pairs or a better TB (if he hold 89 or Ah9h for exemple.)
so C/f turn.
River, even if I don't like it at least you tried something. Villain is unknow but if he is a reg he could have fold some hands because you take a line fish often use with flush. BUT we are at nl10 so villain is more likely to bluffcatch because people aren't disciplined enough to fold their hand at nl10 AND because you bet so small.
well, IMO limp/call pre vs aggressive BB´s is fine.
But i aggree with whysoeasy that the flop peel is too loose....Would it have been been something like 874/872 i would like it a little more. But even then i would prefer a XR
As played XF flop or XF/XR turn....really dislike the XC here as well
River lead seems fine as played...but would make it a little bigger: 2,90$ or so
No way would I raise the flop on 873 board, because I may easily be reraised as bluff. I don't know for sure, but the players seem very aggressive, I mean, extremely non-sense aggression for no other reason than aggression. So I'm trying to adjust to the crazy aggression, not sure what to do other than have a hand very time which is very difficult to get
Perhaps you are right about the calls being too loose, but I mean, am I going to be giving up 99% of flops? Because it's very difficult to get a hand, and opponent most likely has absolutely nothing just as well
VS crazy aggro player it's really easy. You wait to hit a pair or better and you call them down or raise depending on how you think he will react.
But don't try to outplay them.
Lose every small pots and win every big one.
If they as erratic and overly-aggressive as you say they are, just tighten your SB open to 20%. You will win more than your fair share of bigger pots to make up for the extra small blinds you fold.
Well, I'm very surprised for a micro stakes game to be very aggressive, I don't know for sure, maybe it's just poker messing with my head. But there deffinately some over-aggression going on in those games, I get AA to get paid off by people trying to bluff with complete air, and I even catch people betting trying to rep big hand with just pairs and get people to fold when I go all in with AK preflop after they 4Bet sometimes. I always played micro stakes games, and I'm very surprised to face this kind of aggression. I don't know exactly what's going on
And if you open tight, it is probably a good idea to open bigger as well.
Good comments, nothing to add really.The way you played this hand is pure spew.You somehow managed to miss-play every street.
The hand should be put on the top page of:"How not to play" section, in the poker manual :).
