Full Version: Set Vs Possible Flush?

Reads: CO is very LAG but has never shown down weak hands. I have seen him All-In twice this session. Both times he had the goodies. His play was very aggressive, he overbets pots strongly with either nothing (I think so, cos he cant have so many good made hands) or the goodies. If he met resistance he backed up unless he was strong. I put him here on either a stone bluff or the Flush. So I think my Set is as strong as TP. Because he wouldnt bet a 1-Pair hand that strong.

I played my typicall game which is pretty tight and weak passive ( icon_biggrin.gif ). You could also say pot controll oriented. So if I raised I was normally strong.

Only to have it mentioned: My normal game is NL$25. But I won big in our last home game and I deposited sth to Stars just to take a shot at NL$100. So I am not that used to this level of aggression.

What was his pf aggression like? Did he play TAG pf and only get super aggro post flop, or was he open raising with a wide variety of hands pf?

I think you have to call here. This could easily be AK/AQ/AJ given the raise pf.

have you seen him open shove the nuts or close to it? it's a weird play

if i haven't seen him do that, i call

This is Ace King with the King of diamonds 99% of the time, and the other 1% is Aces up. Instacall.

You can't be afraid of every flush heads up. If you've been so passive, he knows you're probably not calling when the flush hits, and he's 100% certain you couldn't have hit the flush.

I call, and if I'm wrong I still have 10 outs smile.gif

Thanks for the replies. I think I am way to weak asking this question. I called and won. i just wanted to ask, because I thought maybe this was a stupid call. But it was AK. I think I have to loosen up a bit and dont always see the nuts like monsters under the bet. But I think I go back to NL$25 I feel safer then LOL
