meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

Shifting between 2 handed to 4 handed. There is one guy who kinda sucks and keeps sitting out because the 4th guy sits back in when he does, so we play a few hands 4 handed, then the sucky guy sits out and the other guy sits out, then the sucky guy sits back in a few minutes later. Anyway, at this point, it's just become 3-handed again as one of the two sits back in.

There is some meta-game that leads up to my hand in question.

We are both playing super aggro at times, and not believing eachother. I've lost $7000 in the last 5 minutes. He probably thinks I'm tilting. I'm pretty sure he is tilting even though he's on a quick rush.

I check, he bets.
...Can anyone raise? I called.

btw i already know everyone is going to hate 1-2 of those other hands that built up to it, but even a day later i'd still make the same decisions in each. so please refrain from commenting about spraying excessively with the 75. thx [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think we should have a thread devoted to at least 1 or 2 of those other hands. I would love to know what you were thinking...

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

i would raise

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

I think we can rule out 2 hands: a flush, and QJ, as I think he always raises these on the flop (let me know if thats off).

So that leaves us the two pair hands that we beat, J7, 67. I dont think hes in there with T3 or 93 etc and he would be highly likely to reraise 88-TT preflop unless he's one of those guys that never reraises HU OOP.

If we give some extra weight to the two-pair hands it might become a c/r. He is a more likely to just call on the flop with hands like T9 and 98 then J7 or 67.

I think its close but I would just call here too. Obviously he had T8 or JT cuz you posted it but I think you made the right play.

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

I think it's really unlikely he doesn't raise twopair on the flop to exploit the image he's just worked up with A8 and to an extent 99, which means (assuming he checks behind 98 on the end) I find it hard to see that the 3 changes matters. I'm fine here with a call.

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

the thing is, he "seriously considers" fivebetting the turn, then catches his v best card on the river...
i would raise.

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

The way I read it, the 5-bet would be to punish the guy for getting frisky with a big draw/pair+draw that's not going to bet the river. Once we've checked on the river, and he's bet, raising doesn't appear to achieve anything, because the big draw folds and the pair+draw checks behind the river instead of betting. I'm not against betting out on this river, but once we've checked, I don't like a CR much.

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

the thing is, the pair+draw often doesnt check, and there are a few 2 pairs out there.

its close.

Re: meta-game makes 4 malicious monetary matters [meticulous memoirs]
 

Hand 2 he raises the turn w/ his FD+gutshot. It seems like he might take a pair + 1-card FD for a few bets on this turn (Qh 8x, Kh 8x don't seem unreasonable).

I think you can raise.
