Why I love California low limit hold 'em.

[haakee]

Not a lot to analyze here. Just a funny hand.

6-12 at Artichoke Joe's. I'm in MP with black pocket aces. I have been playing at this table for 2 hours and due to terrible starting hands I have raised ONCE preflop (UTG w/TT), called very infrequently preflop, and have not yet won a hand. Very loose, pretty aggressive player (LAG) open limps in EMP. I raise. Loose, but passive CO 3-bets. Button cold calls. Big blind cold calls, LAG cold-calls. I 4-bet. CO calls. Button calls. BB calls. LAG calls. 5-way action despite my ridiculously tight image. Nice.

Flop comes 9 /forums/images/icons/club.gif 3 /forums/images/icons/spade.gif 3 /forums/images/icons/club.gif . BB checks. LAG checks. I bet. CO raises. Button folds. BB folds. LAG cold calls. I 3-bet. CO calls. LAG calls. Turn is 2 /forums/images/icons/club.gif. LAG checks. I bet. CO calls. LAG calls. River is a small spade. LAG checks. I bet. CO calls. LAG calls.

Put them on hands. Answers below








































OK, CO is easy. He had KK. But the LAG is a trick question. He apparently can only hope to be promoted sometime in the future to drooling moron. He flipped over 7 /forums/images/icons/spade.gif 2 /forums/images/icons/spade.gif .

WTF??? At least he had outs all the way, I guess.

I will try this without looking first. CO’s play is consistent with KK. LAG (Are you sure of your description, he played extremely passively here) might have T9. Now I’ll check.

Wow, nice guy to have in your game. I had a nice one the other day, I open raised with AJ and only the BB called. Flop was all low cards, I bet he called. Turn was another blank for me, but I bet anyway and he called. River was a K and I thought maybe I could bluff him off it so I bet and damn he called. I showed my A high and he mucked????

CO has big pocket pair, if he's that passive than KK. originally I thought LAG has a nine-no-kicker? or possibly pocket fours but that's stupid cause he would have bet the flop with either of those.

I'm going to change it to something completely rediculous that picket up a deuce along the way

For a LAG to be beaten into submission like this he must be pretty damn weak

[bad beetz]

by the way, do you bet the turn here with red aces?

[haakee]

I don't think so. The LAG scares me. A club draw (or maybe a 3, not sure how he plays flopped trips) seem like hands he may have on the flop. I'm not worried about CO, I figure I'm ahead of his pocket pair.

I pegged this guy as a LAG because I'm virtually certain he's the same guy who was at my table at the no limit tournament a couple weeks ago and he was raising *very* thin. He might play differently in limit games, though. He seemed a bit more passive in this game than he had been in the tourney.
