Hand vs idiot

[ukpokerplayer]

$400 NL hand, both me and villain have about the buy-in.
(2/4 blinds)

Villain is a complete no hoper. He massivle overplays hands and doesnt fol too much preflop.

Idiot linmps UTG (any 2), i raise on button to $16 wioth AsJs oonly idiot calls.
pot $38
flop comes J94 rainbow

Idiot leads out for 25, i raise to 60 and he calls

turn 3, completing the rainbow.

he bets $30 in to me again, I call.

(pot now $218)

river is another J.

idiot now bets $80 in to the pot.

Call , or raise it up?

i want to die.

[ukpokerplayer]

i probably would too if i had nothing better to do than waste my time posting replies like that

[queenhigh]

id probably raise the turn. raising the river is a no brainer. wait five seconds and push.

Raise turn, failing that raise river by a lot

you know just because someone isn't a good poker player it doesn't give you the right to call them an idiot.

So if we raise river, we should be prepared to call a three-bet?

Whoops, didn't look at the stack sizes. My bad.
Just put it all in on the river then.

[mike l.]

the turn was where you choked it. you shouldve just pushed. oh wait good news you made trips ace kicker on the river. so now you have a second chance to push.

what's your question exactly? there are only two plays here against an idiot: push and stack the chips, or push and rebuy.

Hi uk,

Flawless is trying to say that this is as obvious a situation as one can find, and if you read this forum at all, you'd know that the answer was:

Raise more on the flop, raise turn, raise river. Call anything back at any time.

I think you can benefit from reading the Small Stakes NL forum, if you didn't know what to do in this hand.

Dont think of your opponents as idiots. Dont underestimate the bad players. They just have a different approach to the game.

This is a lot more important than whether you should raise the river or not.

Hi sorry it does seem kind of obvious. I was just wondered about the fact that he led in to me on every street, and also that he plays any two preflop.

In the hand I raised it to $200 on the river (left about $100 behind) and he flat called with J9. So he had the nuts and didnt reraise me which saved me $100 or so.

Now i'm not whining about a badbeat, I just wondered generally if alarm bells go off when you get led in to by someone who is not very good, on every street. I guess it depends on the opponent tho.
