TPGK against loose passive villian

lmw · #1 10-07-2005, 09:49 PM

villian is loose passive. I have seen many players at this level min bet draws trying to price themselves in. Looking back I don't think most LPP would bet a draw. am i wrong?

I might not go crazy here.

I think I raise to 1.25 or 1.5 on the flop.

bet 3 or 4 on the turn.

I also raise preflop but limping is not too bad if you are uncomfortable playing hands like AJ.

Should the min bet on the flop from a LPP have sounded alarm bells?

amoeba · #4 10-07-2005, 09:56 PM

no, usually its a flush looking to see a cheap turn.

that's what i thought, but wouldn't that deviate from the typical actions of a LPP.

You played it correctly. You could have bet a little less than pot on the turn. Check behind on river is standard.

Standard.
