This is the last hand at 75/150.

We started the round 5 handed. Big stack wasnt that big (~3k chips) at the start. but he has always limped in when folded to, and always bet out when checked to. if you min bet into him, he re-raises 3x. at lvl5, he has never shown his cards. (we always folded.)

i wasnt paying attention to what hands he was playing with in the earlier levels.

I have a gut draw. too risky to push here? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

or against him, stick with the general rule of stay tight (check/fold) if you have nothing unless you have 5BB or less? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

If not, when you should fight back when you dont have premium cards and/or dont catch a piece of the flop?

umm.. fold? if hes as maniacal as you make him sound.. why even bother? holla

[AA suited]

so you think of him as manical, and not an aggressive bully?

Got to fold this flop, you have basically 6 high. Yeah, gutshot, but come on.

There's a better way to play this hand, and that's to push preflop

[se2schul]

You can't do anything now - you really don't have cards. Wait for a slightly better hand and push when he tries to complete the SB.

my standard is to wait till i'm 5bb or less to push with any 2 if sb completes.

next orbit, i'm at 6.5bb (100/200 blinds). against this type of player, i might do that instead of waiting till 5bb. correct line vs this type? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

In this situation, I'd fold. My plan would be to wait until I got a decent hand and then push after he limps.

Folds and decides to push with a hand that doesn't suck later on.

i think pushing the flop is ok. villain has been betting every flop after limping every pot. the odds that he has a pair here are pretty low. and they're better that he has 4x or 2x than kx, in which case you have 10 outs. there's too good a chance that he has nothing for me to fold. it may also slow him down on your bb, too. and you're far enough from the money that trying to squeak into 3rd is not too viable.

the big question in my mind is whether villain call you with Q-high. if so, then pushing looks a lot worse.
