Just a guy — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:24:51 +0000

villian is new to the table, perhaps a orbit or 2. the stats i have on him are 26/22/9 over 750 hands.

i am focusing this session on not paying off when it is obvious (or should be) that i am behind. (imo, i generally call raises too much)

what's my play here ?? is a call/raise paying off or is a fold too paranoid ?? if yes/no, why ??

thoughts

Thanks..

It doesn't seem to matter can I play the games or do I know the rules - I seem to finish on the bubble in DC tournaments. I was very surprised to see all the games in the rotation.

Very nice tournament, thanks to microstakesrave. It surprised me that we had 10 participants and at least I had fun trying to make some sense what I should do next. 8-game on Stars next?

To anyone who was watching that, please note that my inability to play mixed games is not a representation of the quality of the DC content; my ability to run good is.

Post on Micro Stakes Online NL: 2NL Massive overbets on river..

Langerz — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:03:53 +0000

I'd c/f flop in Hand 1 and c/f river in hand 2 (although I'd definitely raise pre against two posters).

The overbets are both turbo folds. You mentioned they are usually bluffs, but bad players (really most players) rarely overbet as a bluff.

Hand 1 the guy almost surely has a 9 and is thinking sweet this guy can't fold an A. Hand 2 the guy almost surely has a flush and is thinking sweet this guy can't fold a Q.

SIide — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:57:02 +0000

Villain seems to be a regular in the games, though probably doesn't win much, if any. He fairly aggressive preflop, what 6-maxer's would call LAG/TAG. He's capable of checking behind big PPs on this turn.

Is this a spot where villain is bluffing enough for us to call?

zydee — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:56:23 +0000

I couldn't fold the turn. What does he have that beats you? 7x and 44?

He shouldn't have a ton of 7x being 16/10 and if he does you have some equity. I'm calling.

Saying he shouldnt have alot of something doesnt really help us. Shouldnt we be thinking what would he do if he had x. Just because he is 16/10 doesnt mean he wont call 78s here. My problem with the hand is we have a nit raising us when we rep AA,KK good kings and maybe trips ourselves depending on hero's tendencies. He cant have a pair +draw here so what else can he have except for monsters? If the river is a diamond are we going to call a shove?
His stats dont indicate he is very aggressive so I dont see him raising draws himself on the turn so even though his raising range is thin for value what would his bluff raising range on the turn include?
