Looks good.

In general, how often are you firing again on the turn when you don't have a pair?

[imported_leader]

I don't know. It's so situation and player dependent. I'll do it a lot against TAGs when I know they are calling the flop hoping to hit but obviously won't have odds to continue. This one’s hard because I think he's calling me with crap a lot on the flop, but I don't want to invest two more BB to see a showdown with K8 high.

I like it

if the turn is a 3 non-/images/graemlins/club.gif you're betting?

Probably not. The main problem I have here is that betting at the pot isn't going to folding anything that beats me, but he's not calling enough with things I beat to make a bet and then a river check/call worth it.

ok I can buy that I guess but a guy this loose has a bunch of 6 outers that we're giving a free card to. how do you feel about that?

i hate these situations

It's worst really. I feel like he's probably betting a lot of them. I haven't seen this guy enough to know what he's like post flop, but PokerRoom has struck me as a really LAGy place with a lot of semi-smart donks. I wouldn't expect him to check though very often.

I check/Call flop and then Cr/Bet the turn because i'm a donk and everyone loves to fold when a flush falls /images/graemlins/laugh.gif (Except the guys with his WTSD numbers /images/graemlins/blush.gif)

Is there any other lines pf or flop that doesn't leave us in this situation because losing this pot this way seems pretty inevitable.

Open complete. check/fold when we don't hit?

yeah or i do that, I only steal from tightys with a good read though. Haven't worked on this side of 6max yet. To busy establishing my "game".

[gonzopro]

If BB is a calling station (with the provided info I'd day it's likely), would callling from the SB make more sense? He going to call until the river and whether we have a hand or not. Just calling preflop allows us to get away from our hand easier if he bets the flop. Our check on the turn broadcasts that we don't have a hand so even passive villians are likely to bet (which is why when we do have a hand we should sometimes ck the turn to induce a bluff).

I don't think he's folding enough to that CR or the bet.

[POKhER]

Oops i just read his stats, Complete and fold.

Would you try steal from this guy in 10max? i wouldn't /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[/ QUOTE ]I'm not trying to steal though. It's for value. He could easily be defending any two. I don't play any different in full after 4 folds then I do in 6-max. I just try to remember that full players tend to be much weaker and more passive then 6m players. It should be noted however that someone with these stats is probably a much worse full player then a 6m player.

Marginal value though, PokerStove said 55% to 45% HU vs a random hand(I let it run for a few seconds so could be far out).

I normally complete here and let it go(Or one bluff bet).

hmm..... instinctively this seems bad but does anyone else think this could be the best play?

I'm not really open completing much at all. Probably something I should consider against this player.
