SwolyswoND 1 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Villain is a TAG, nothing noteworthy in terms of trickiness. Pretty ABC player. In the PLO portion of this 7game table, he flatted my PSB on the AJ6 flop with QQJT, then raised big on a J turn after I led 2/3 pot. On a blank river he checked behind.Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comUTG ($67.35)Hero (MP) ($48.85)Button ($51.45)SB ($50)BB ($115.10)Preflop: Hero is MP with K , K 1 fold, Hero bets $2, Button calls $2, 2 foldsFlop: ($4.75) 8 , 2 , 10 (2 players)Hero bets $3, Button calls $3Turn: ($10.75) 6 (2 players)Hero bets $8.50, Button raises to $46.45 (All-In), Hero hates this kind of spot.Not sure that he's dumb enough to play AT this way.

tskillz187 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Flip a coin? Against some other TAG decent player I think it's a clear cut fold. But those seem like atrocious mistakes in PLO. With some optimism he could have Tx and turned pair + draw hands as well as turned combo draw hands and then all the hands that have you crushed. Link to post Share on other sites
LJB723 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'd call. I'd expect to see one of AcTc, KcTc, QcTc, JcTc, 9cTc here. He might even have a sticky 99, JJ or QQ. Although I concede they are less likely. Link to post Share on other sites
Temporary Nuts 1 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 SA/WBThis is a set equally if not more often than a combo draw and 9-7. I guess JJ could also show up here sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
rrumsey 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 even a TAG can step out of line sometimes. The interesting thing here is it seems the big repop is almost a defensive play , what real hands repop here: 10's, 6's,A's,Q's,J's(K's but very unlikely). Maybe he was playing one of these hands strong to protect against the flush draw and the weird straight draws( straight unlikely) but still flatting or small callable reraise is at least for me a little more scary because he is trying to get value out of his hand. I call because we are betting almost all of the hands that would bet hard to defend itself here but don't be astonished if you do catch a cooler here. Link to post Share on other sites

jmbreslin 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'd call. I'd expect to see one of AcTc, KcTc, QcTc, JcTc, 9cTc here. He might even have a sticky 99, JJ or QQ. Although I concede they are less likely.Really depends on how ABC he is and how aggressive he is. If Hero's read is reliable, villain is not likely going to be making that kind of all-in raise on the turn after a dry flop without a big hand. There is no reason for him to put his chips on the line on the turn if he's trying to take the pot away. He could have raised to something like $25 to minimize his risk. From an ABC TAG I think this is more likely a confident move with a big hand (perhaps trying to look like a bluff) than an aggressive move with something like 99, AT, or whatever.

Fade2241 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I am right there with you in that I hate this spot too. This is read dependant as others have said but I don't see myself folding here very often, only folding to a tight villian. Link to post Share on other sites

Syntonic 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I usually call in this spot. A lot of the time it's a pair and a flush draw - people go bananas when they have that hand and overshove hoping to either win on the turn or get lucky on the river. Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think this villain raises most 10x hands on the flop, given his stats and play from the history you gave. I fold. Link to post Share on other sites
trystero 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 std fold against a std TAG. If this guy doesn't get out of line and just plays ABC poker, as your read indicates that he does, I fold.against a 'regular' TAG I'd call. i.e. if I saw the guy 3-betting lightly and squeezing pf, doing aggro shit like that, I'd call. Yes I know that simply because he plays pf one way doesn't mean he plays postflop the same way, but I would know that his thinking process has probably been influenced by sites like CR and Deucescracked, so he's more liable to make a play, float and then raise a combo draw, or simply overplay a hand like JJ/AT.
