Ummm... explain?

Re: Raising A-hi for value...
 

Are you really expecting calls from worse hands?

Re: Raising A-hi for value...
 

Against a sane opponent? no... against a guy that plays 80% of his hands and really sucks postflop yes...
Probably should have mentioned that his Went to Showdown was 55%...
I expect any A,Q or J to call here plus some small pairs that got counterfeited at the end...

The only hand I think he will raise is one containing a K,which i will have to call...

I don´t think he will raise a 9, which i don´t put him on either...

You're calling a 3-bet?????????

omg seriously this is just terrible. I remember replying to another post of yours a few days ago and that was also terrible.

I think you should move down, doubtless you'll just take this as an insult and you'll probably post something telling me I suck, and maybe I do, but that doesn't mean you don't.

It just might be... But against a guy that thinks 80% of his hands are playable preflop, and postflop he bets and raises as much as he calls with those same 80%, I´m not folding this hand to a threebet...

If you are referring to my pocket sixes hand that was far from terrible, questionable yes and that was why I posted it, but hardly terrible...

Huh? I would never dream of insulting anybody on this forum for expressing their opinion and I don´t think I have done anything in the past to deserve that...
I respect you as a poster and what you have contributed to this forum, I´m just sorry that you don´t feel the same way...

I don´t want to turn this into some kind of pissing contest and I really hate myself for letting my ego write this...
But over the last 40k hands I have a winrate of just under 5BB/100 4 tabling the PP 5/10, so I must be doing something right...

And I probably wouldn´t have posted this hand in the first hand since it´s so read dependant. Against the overwhelming majority of players I just call this river..

Re: Raising A-hi for value...
 

Looks pretty good to me. And yeah you gotta call a 3-bet. I don't see why everyone is against this.

I think you can expect both calls and raises from worse hands.

Re: Raising A-hi for value...
 

What's 80/3/1? Would villain bet the river with a pocket pair? That's what I think he has. But I don't like the river raise without good non-PT reads. It's possible he has a 9, how tricky is he? He could have TT or JJ. I'd probably call the river, raising is risky because of fear of a 3-bet. And at that point, you're smoked.

3-bet the flop.
