Scott3705 0 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 5 limpers to the SB and BB (me w/ q9o)flop 7 playersq 9 3 rainbowIt gets checked around to CO who bets $10. I reraise to $35. MP player goes all in for $300, CO folds, i fold.MP has had big hands when he gets to shown down. I think he heavily proscribes to the idea that low limit players can't fold and plays accordingly.

bdc30 0 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Meh, you don't have much invested. I'd like to know how much you have in your stack though. If you have <$100, I call. Anything more, I probably fold.And you don't "proscribe" to an idea, just fyi. Link to post Share on other sites

krup24 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 smells like 33 to me. i like the fold especially against a good player. Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 1 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 It's either a split pot or you're beat. In a way, it reminds me of Bill Ivey folding AT on a board of AA799 when his opponent reraises allin for $1600 into a $300 pot (or something like that). Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I think he heavily proscribes to the idea that low limit players can't fold and plays accordingly.This is an interesting discussion to have in this section, I think..how do we approach this type of player, in general?. I see 1/2 and 2/5 NL players that are not even necessarily talented, but just very straightforward and push really hard with semi-strong/strong hands because they don't ever want to get beat by a fish. It can be a little frustrating to play against them sometimes because they make me fold stronger hands than they have, but I can often also stack them, especially if it seems to them that I've been playing a lot of hands. Case in point, a baller-type of kid no older than me (looked about 17) at the Taj in AC, 1/2 NL. I get 99 in UTG +2, and it's about my 4th hand and the first I became involved in. Loose donk UTG limps, I limp, kid makes it $9 to go, donk and I call. Flop comes J9J. Donk bets out $13, I call, kid raises to $90. NINETY. Donk folds, I him-haw hoping he had KK/AA and put neither of us on a J, then pushed fo $160ish total, he calls with AJ.So, he raised big in EP, in front of unknown and loose limpers, and then raised to NINETY having flopped top trips/top kicker. May not be a -EV policy at crappy 1/2 tables (could I have really gotten away from the flop if I had the case J in my hand?), as it's basically a post-flop smash-system. BUT, this particular table was at 2am on a Monday night, so most of the players were somewhat knowledgeable...and the kid got crushed for at least 2 buyins while I was there for about an hour.

Kid pushes $40 into a pot of $50 with top set. Just because he ran into a flopped boat doesn't make it a poor play. Link to post Share on other sites

If i had Q10 on this board, i would probably have told him i was laying down two pair cause I want to take the thought of implied odds against me out of his head. Link to post Share on other sites
