Motor City Casino 10-20

A little background. The last time the villian showed up in the AM i had 3500 in chips in front of me. Today, I had 1500 in chips in front of me. I am running well, and playing well. I know the villian thinks I am a good player. He is a younger player, and is pretty standard player, a little weak/tight post flop, but is easy to read.

Also, he raise two limpers with 78o in MP, and bet the flop and turn with no pair and no draw, and when all folded, he showed us all, letting us know he is the best player in the world. /images/graemlins/cool.gif


He's made comments about me raising his blind for the 10000000th time in a row. He is sitting 3 to my left, and the hands I'm raising with, I'm usually showing down, open raising from the CO with K9s, AK, 77, A8s. Hands like this.


In this hand, I am in the cutoff with:

9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif


6 folds, I raise, Button folds, SB folds, Villian makes some comment like 'here we go again' and calls.


Flop 2 players 4SB

9 /images/graemlins/club.gif 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif


Villian checks, I bet, Villian raises, I 3-bet, Villian caps.

(now, when he caps, he almost jumps out of his seat to spank the last 20 in there) Usually, when he raises someone on the turn with the goods, he just reaches out and bangs out 2 stacks of 4, like, bang----bang.

I've never seen this guy leap like that.

As for my thinking, right now, I think my 9's are the best hand


Turn 2 players 6BB

Villian bets, I call


(when he was betting, he hesitated. At this point I figured he A. had a set, or B. was afraid I had an A. If he's afraid of an A, he doesn't have 2 pair or a set. If he doesn't have 2 pair, I think my 9's are good.)

Anyway.

River 2 players 8BB

Villian bets, I call.


When he bet here, it was just like his flop bets. Very overagressive, and looked contrived.


Now, my question is, even with my reads of this player, and how he views me, should I fold the turn, should I raise somewhere, or should I do something different. Just looking for constructive critism.

Preflop: IMO, this is an easy fold. Even if the players to your left are ultra weak/tight, if you keep raising them every time you get a chance they'll eventually catch on. You have to show some discretion, and when you're dealt 95 that's a good time to exercise some.

Flop: I would read your opponents comment to be a tell that he has a decent starting hand (acting weak when strong). For that reason, I would slow down and just call instead of 3betting after the reraise.

Turn: Crappy card, if the pot were smaller I would consider laying it down, although I'm not sure if I would. Since the pot got inflated on the flop though, I'd probably feel obliged to call it down.

River: Well, if I'm calling the turn I'd probably call the river too, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

IMO, from what you wrote the reads cut both ways on this hand so I wouldn't use it as a justification to put my opponenet on a weak hand.

I think the crucial street is preflop. Because your starting hand was really crappy you got stuck in a tough situation later on.

Just my opinion...
