when lag players raise your continuation bets
Boston Tom replied to Limit Player's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Does he usually make another bet on the turn if you check to him after he's shown strength on the flop? He could have diamond draw, a lot of low-limit players will make a raise on the flop, hoping to get a free card on the river. It's hard to get a read, but you said he's a LAG player, I might call and make another $4 bet on the turn if no flush card hit. If you get raised again, I'd be done. All he's done so far, is make a weak position raise and raise the flop. I think it's at least as ikely that he has a flush draw as he has a weak ace. I doubt he has AK or A10, he might, but it's wo -

I ended up playing some HU against him after another table broke. He wasn't bad for a low limit player. He changed from LAG to something close to TAG on me a couple times, but I busted him hard with a nice CR on the turn after he'd raised me from the button. .15/.25 blinds.I had AJ suited and when he raised to 4X the bb, I elected to just call (I'd been re-raising with tier 1 and tier 2 hands all along because I need to work on my post-flop reads and play). We'd both done well at this table so stacks were deep. I believe I had $45 and he had $72. I flopped a straight when it came down K Q 10 a -

scary board for me. I only have a couple outs, and there are multiple hands which could have given him strong draws, two pair, etc. a lot that would encourage him to push back hard against me.my intention was to check raise if I hit a K or Q on a less threatening board, and to check call if I hit a very strong hand because he was the type to fire mulitple bullets at pots.I thought he might be raising pre-flop with a very wide range of hands. Anything from a weak-medium ace to rags. I ruled out a strong pocket pair since I'd seen him make limp re-raise moves with those. That's why I made a pot -
how often are you beaten in this situation

thanks - that's usually my line of thinking in those small pot situations, too. -

$.10/.20 NL with a $40 max buy-in. Hero has $40 and villain has $60. Hero has been watching villain play aggressively, but villain hasn't had to show a hand in the 5 pots hero has seen him win. Hero has no prior experience against villain.Hero raised to 5X bb because the table seemed somewhat loose. -
my boat sunk, can i get away from this hand
Boston Tom replied to tuckermitchell's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
someone doesn't show bluffs only to continue bluffing - usually.His smooth call of our big turn raise worries me, and I do not like your check on the river. Since you already CR'ed.However, since you did check, I think I would smooth call the river bet by our villain, but I play very conservatively.He started the betting, called a large raise, and bet out at the end. I'd be thinking he had something big the whole way... -
an EP limps. you're in MP with AK. you raise. all fold except EP who calls.flop comes K 7 7 (or another low-ish card twice). EP goes all in.you...?low limit nl here so I don't see the same players over and over again.if he has you covered, are you usually dead?if you have him covered, is it a desperation push?for cash games, btw.

too strong of a push, even w/ KK. I'm not sure how you'd get away though.

Awesome hand, MK. AA holds up three handed and you triple up. Keep up the good work!
-
you know... if you raised pre-flop, you'd have a better idea where you stood, and the guy might've even folded.Just sayin'. You're playing weak/tight, so fold.
-
dumb not to raise with AK here, but since you didn't, villain has no idea what you are betting. I'd reraise and put him to the test. I think you have him beat here most of the time.

who is BBJ?

the turn bet was very weak, too.
