Maybe he just needed footage for his YouTube channel.

He'll be shoving his entire range because once you check turn he'll give AK---> they always do.

July 27, 2016 | 11:32 p.m.

Pre looks good.
Larger flop would make turn decision easier with eff stacks.
AP
Call.

July 27, 2016 | 11:30 p.m.

just fold, no reason to get in 400BB without the nuts, you're owning him anyway, Just keep playing your game and take his money slowly but surely.
Live reads/tells are V specific, if he's not capable of reverse tells every response from him is genuine and him telling you that you have QQ shows that he has KK/AA and maybe AK.

Jan. 24, 2016 | 2:38 p.m.

Yes, low disconnected boards.
I wouldn't mind him folding his bluffs pre, you can't just have KK/AA in your 5! Range.

Jan. 24, 2016 | 2:04 p.m.

i think I like flatting pre if there are no other callers in between.
AP
You're deep enough to flat even tho I myself hate flatting 4! OOP but you would have to continue on certain flops by c/c at least twice or you can 5bet/fold

Jan. 24, 2016 | 12:29 p.m.

If you have a strong read that he's drawing then I guess you should stuff but just know that you have no FE And most draws that he'll have on this flop will have a ton of equity, and you'll need to fade bout just 1/2 the deck.

Trips are hard to make, bet flop as PFR and then bet biggish OTT, flops like this will be peeled on the lighter side all PP's and some other other hands will call.
AP
Just check fold turn don't stab, it would seem like AK to most and you'll get raised often enough by a even a semi thinking player.

2/5 6 handed

Villain: Asian, Late 40's early 50's, laggy style, wide calling range, any 2 suited, Ax+ K9o/s+, one of his fav. Plays is to LRR UTG/1, have seen him pull this S*T with 77+ AK+.
Have seen LRR and call off $700 with 77-JJ after he LRR and got shoved on multiple times.
He just transfers to my table from a broken game with $2.5K+
Dynamic: villain knows I'm capable of putting pressure in certain spots on scared/ish money soft players and that I'm capable of big bluffs and thin Vbets, has never really seen me get out of line pre, views me as an agro player maybe a bit laggy SH and softer games.
I have $1100

We are 6 handed, villain has LRR once already with JJ and it was checked down on a KQ10xx board and villain scoops with JJ
Game is Limp/cally pre and fit/fold post, villain has been at my table for 10 minutes and I'm sure he picked it up.

OTTH

V limps UTG, 3 others limps, Hero raises to $45 from BB with AQo
V LRR to $155

I don't think I could flat OOP and play profitable post since I doubt I'll get any action from 77-KK on A high flops and the only action would most likely be when he flops a set.
If I 4! He's never folding and my hand will suck OOP since he's one to give me AK on low/dry flops and never fold with any pair.
I'll do some plugin when I wake up( really bad sess and want this day to be over) but I would like to hear some opinions on what is the most optimal line should I be taking vs him in this type of scenarios, since this is going to come up again and again.
Main question is what should my stacking off range should look like @200BB?

Thank you.

I think Id much rather flat IP than OOP.

March 25, 2015 | 8:35 p.m.

I dont mind the squeeze with K9s in this spot but I think it should be at least doubled barreled.

Problem with this hand is if villain is paying attention he'll know that you're one and done with your bluffs and once you check turn and give up he'll show a profit everytime in similar situations with his entire range.

Oct. 15, 2014 | 7:15 p.m.

One of the major problems in checking is that in live games players are show down monkeys and you will rarely see any thin vbets, especially OTR.

That been said I'm always leading river here but my sizing will target his top range, if he folds he folds.


July 17, 2014 | 4:05 a.m.

Totally agree with Poopdollar, also you have to remember that in a live game players would usually peel flop with a much wider range than turn and river thus taking a bet/fold line with ALL value hands is the most profitable.

I also like limping with all small/mid pp from EP/mid positions because in a single raised pot rec/casual will have a hard time folding over pairs when you smash a set.

Ps

Verbalizing a bet size for could mean strength for done weakness, it's up to you to profile correctly watch board textures and what hands go to show down when he announces a bet size.

March 14, 2014 | 11:27 p.m.

Sorry for the spelling, fat fingers..

March 14, 2014 | 11:24 p.m.

You're giving is an incomplete profile of villain, saying he's agro doesn't say much about how he plays.

Saying agro" because he's playing a lot of pots  wouldn't be correct and if he is an agro player if expect him to 4/bet pre with AK+, to me it looks like he's the type of player that will call with almost any two just to smash a flop.

I deff like a VBet on this flop, since I believe that he'll call with AJ AQ and all other pairs at least 1/2 streets.

In my experience live players play straight forward and he would never/rarely "bluff" raise you on this dry board to try to get you off tour hand, don't forget this is a 3/bet pot and this board hits you just as hard if not harder.

I like a bet/fold line atleast on flop and turn, if he calls both streets without raising, we can then comfortably check fold river.

As played

Check call flop, check call turn check evaluate river.

March 14, 2014 | 11 p.m.

I only play live and in my expririence even the most passive player/s would raise KK in a straddle pot and it would be a big raise, unless he'd expect you to squeeze from the straddle.

If he plays so passive and soft and he does have over pairs when he bets this turn I would check raise and try to induce a spaz. 

Now to actually break this hand down, since you think that he has K6s in his range why can't he have K4s A4s A4 54 64 74s and on and on.

If you fold this hand then what would you call a river shove with?

Maybe your profile of him as passive might be wrong??

Tank/snap matters not, I would call.


Ps

I never straddle, unless the table us ultra soft thus creating dead money for me to pick up with a sqz, otherwise I personally think there's no merit to it.

@Chael Sonnen

You posted that you are had a 55BI down swing now you are asking how to stop spewing..?

Please do not take this the wrong way, I am not judging nor am I insulting you in any way shape or form!!

I think your definition of a "down swing" might be a bit off, I've read some of your threads and it seems like your main problem in big pots is that you think you are better than your competition and you just have to win every pot you're involved in, your thought process seems good when you post your hands but my question to you is, do you think like that when you're in the hand or post ( when it seems easier to analyze)?

It's like a soccer game that we watch on TV and see a player pass to the wrong team mate and miss an opportunity for a score, deff easier to analyze when you're not under pressure.

You don't have to win every pot to show profit or be a good poker player, I think you need to go back to fundamentals reevaluate your game, be more patient , go over all those spew spots and look for mistakes that you've made, go over all those other hands that you've won and see if you maximized your profits, like Daz mentioned stop trying to force spots and wait for them to come to you. 

IMO opinion a great poker player is not one that bluffs a huge pot for me it is a player that knows how to maximize his profits when he has the best hand.

Good luck buddy.

Folding river is best""

"Also I asked him the other day about this hand and if he remembered and he said he had QhTh."

I doubt he'd shove a Q high flush, I think he is more likely just calling.

Either way river folding river, IMO.


Dec. 12, 2013 | 7:13 p.m.

I like a cbet here, since most live players play straight forward, specially rec., they will let you know if you're beat or not.

Once you check that flop I believe all pairs will take a shot 88-JJ will deff bet.

1/2 pot bet OTF, eveluate turn if a non scare hits, still betting, but small enough to get called by mid pairs and fold to a raise.

Dec. 7, 2013 | 11:28 p.m.

Tbh for me its a fold pre, even tho it's suited you have a K and a 7....  ;-) vs EP raise, I'd rather have SC in thus spot OTB.

You said yourself that players at your table are super loose and don't mind jamming so wait for better spots then calling a check raise and then stacking off with a naked draw.

Bet smaller OTF $145-$160 and fold to a shove/raise, as played(you started with a $1,000) just fold.

Don't start playing like they do and over value naked draws and mid strength hands, wait for a great spot(if they don't fold) and just take them on all 3/streets.

Nov. 7, 2013 | 5:11 p.m.

Totally agree.

Only thing for me is that vs unknown UTG open in mid position with half the field left to act I'd fold KQo almost always.

if you feel that BB cold calling range in this spot includes 1010-KK  then we have some high card removal from CO range, CO could be calling wider here cause of stack sizes, odds and position.

I think c/c will price you to any action OTR, If your plan is to c/c then you might as well bet/call or just jam.

IMO


Oct. 11, 2013 | 1:15 a.m.

Nothing to add regarding 1-2

Situation 3: there is no reason to check raise bad players, bad players specialy live will always let you know when they have you crushed, so the checks raise and then shoving 200BB into the pot is not necessary with a 1 pair hand, bet fold in live is " a highway paved in $100 bills" they will always call with worse and shove with better.

A65r bet flop and fold to a raise, you only have a one pair hand and even tho it will be good most times, not 1 live player will ever shove $1,000 over your bet with anything else but 2pair+ and the ocasional combo draw.

No reasons to check raise these guys cause that's how they play it's a " let me just take it down now" state of mind, just bet fold and you will print $.
