I have 77 in the BB.
UTG+1 open raises. PT stats have him down as a loose-passive-passive, and his PFR% is a piddly 2%, meaning to me he's got AA-JJ or AK.
Button coldcalls, I call.
Flop is A75r. Pretty sweet!
I figure I'll pop the turn -- I check, he bets, button calls, I call.
Turn is a T. I check, Mr. LPP bets, button calls, I raise.
Mr. LPP 3-bets me, button folds.
Well, you know what happens now. I figure that there's only two hands he's doing this with, AA and AK, and AK is a big stretch -- people usually don't 3-bet with TPTK after being checkraised. Especially the more passive types. I just call, and, yeah, river gets checked through.
He flips AK, and I feel stupid for losing two bets. But was my read here really that far off? Was it that nutty to put him on the only hand that beats me given his PFR%?
Okay, now I'll tell you the real story: same as above, but the button CALLED two bets back to him. I read him as a fish that I'm ahead of . . . but I still slow down, really putting the open-raiser on AA.
Scenario #1 (button folds, it's HU): Super-weak, slightly weak, good read gone awry?
Scenario #2 (button calls turn): Super-weak, slightly weak, good read gone awry?
