Villain is pretty loose preflop. Acquired his stack somehow, I really can't remember, probably lucking out. He sucks.

The next hand to come soon.

SB probably spiked a T or J, or is trying to chase you away with an underpair. But he's probably not crazy about his hand. You have 12 good outs, and your A and K count for some, so it's fair to say you are ahead on the flop. I would put him to the test and push. The 1400 is worth winning, and you're rarely in bad shape here (he probably wouldn't play a set this way at a $15 sng). So yeah I would push.

You're going to have at least 12 (and almost always 15, and occasionally 18) outs here, and probably have decent folding equity if you push. Pretty easy push, in my opinion.

You've gotten yourself into a tricky situation. I think that limp-call is quite likely to be some kind of pocket pair, and this is about the best board he could ask for with that kind of holding. Add to this to your perceived bullying the previous hand and huge PF raise and I think you're going to find it very hard to move him. Checking to him will probably lead to a bet you really don't want to call. I think I probably check-fold here: this action and this board and the play of the previous hand really just isn't inspiring confidence in me here.

He's been limping nearly every hand. Fairly loose.

I like the first hand, and I'd probably make the same move.

Hand #2 Pretty standard CB with your read on the villain, although I might bet a little less, maybe the 700ish range.

Jman28 · #9 08-31-2005, 03:09 AM

I like the was you played both. I bet maybe 800 on hand #2.
