did I play this rightParty Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is SB with [Th :heart: ], [Td :diamond: ]. 3 folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls.Flop: (10 SB) [Js :spade: ], [3c :club: ], [2h :heart: ] (3 players)Hero bets, Hero calls.Turn: (9.50 BB) [7d :diamond: ] (2 players)Hero checks, CO bets, Hero folds.Final Pot: 10.50 BBI think taht I was over aggressive in this pot, but the CO was a loose type and had been seeing me make lots of raises

[NormanHaupt]

well if CO was aggressive you had the right to try and bull him a little. But yeah, its likely he had the Jack

[Scruff]

with the pot that big, I'm check calling turn/river. He could have played 99 or 88 or AT or even A4 (you said he was loose) the same way. That pot was too big to fold for a single bet on the turn.Implied odds there, for two calls were 2 bets to win 11.5 bets, or even better, 1 bet to win 10.5 if he checks down the river after missing.

Pre-flop: Cap. Cap tens against anyone.Flop: Bet. Call the raise.Turn: The guy was LAG. But he may have you beat. I like checking and calling. You can't give up on this pot, yet. If he raises like this with AK or 99, you have him stomped. I'm looking him up.River: Check and call.Anyone have any thoughts on a stop n go on the turn? Read sais he's LAG, he might raise a worse hand +50% of the time.The guy is very aggressive and I think he might fold to a turn bet too much. So you might as well let him bluff all his chips to you. BTW, what makes you think he has a J. If he has anything that beats us it's AA, KK, or QQ. Then again, he may 3-bet AJ pre-flop.Read sais he is very loose aggressive, right? This is important. Because if he's not loose, folding the turn is correct. Either way, caping the flop was a mistake. You don't cap pre-flop when it's more likely you have the bets hand, but cap on the flop?Again, anyone have any thoughts on a stop n go on the turn?

[Scruff]

I know I should know better, but what does LAG mean?

[Scruff]

Ah, loose-aggressive. sorry.

This is tough for me to say, because the only limit I have ever played was 2-4, but here goes.I wouldn't play tens like that pre-flop, and even if I called a capped bet, I'd have AA KK QQ JJ, and AK all scaring the shit out of me.Flop: I like your bet here. But you should put on the brakes here when CO raises. Just call. (Also I'm finding it hard to believe you aren't beat here)Turn: I think you either need to check and fold as you did or bet out, he might fold this turn if you bet, but it's a slim chance. There's a small possibility he's making a move here, and that he'd lay the hand down if you continued to show strength, but again, I doubt it. You are getting 5 to 1 in a hand where you probably have a 4% shot of winning.

But the guy just called pre-flop initially, would he do that with AA, KK, QQ, JJ??? I can't see that. Not if he's loose aggressive. Was he tricky too? If not, I've got to put him on a medium pair or Ax (with x being anything from T down). Maybe he has a set of 2s or 3s I guess though.

[NormanHaupt]

if he's LAG, wouldn't it be possible he'd have JT or QJ? Maybe AJ or KJ? Players like him, to me, would be the same if they have pocket aces or hit TP on the flop.But I'm still learning, lol

he limp three bet preflop, which leads me to now think that KK, AA, or AK is very likely, maybe even a set of jacks

[wrto4556]

He didn't limp raise...go back and read it again, and then tell me what yall think...he's the CO. How could he limp raise?

[Scruff]

sure he did wrt0:3 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, MP2 calls, CO 3-betsCO calls (limps), hero raises, CO then re-raises. He limp reraised. There was already one in and he's loose agressive on the cutoff. No way he's just calling with AA, KK, QQ, JJ. There. He probably had a pair or two big cards or Ax and decided to three bet it for value, trapping the first limper for an extra bet. No way he's slow playing a big pair with just 3 players to go, that's crazy.

[wrto4556]

He sure did.Im working, Im gonna think and then post later. What a strange hand.

[HtotheNootch]

I'll raise with 10s in limit, but won't necessarily cap it. Sometimes it's nice when you hit the set and someone with A-10, J-10 etc. hits 2-pair or even top pair, and a bloodbath in my favor ensues.

[Smasharoo]

I play this identicaly in $3/$6.At .50/$1 the flop three-bet is chip spewing.Capping the flop here in the average Party .50/$1 game is terrible.
