25/50 hand
 

Hustler 25/50, the game is great right now, although it's been off and on for the last couple hours. I'm UTG with red deuces. A limp is correct at this point mostly because of the loose passive lady to my left who limps with roughly 2/3 of her hands. As I'm putting out my chips, I look left and notice her folding. Oops, gotta remember to look left sooner.

CO is a youngish asian lady who is very loose, not passive but not very aggressive either, and fairly predictable postflop. I feel like I have a decent read on her.

Anyways, folded to CO who raises, tight SB calls, BB folds, I call. 3 to the flop for 7 SB.

Flop is T97 rainbow. Check, I bet, CO raises, SB folds, I call.

Turn is a 4. Check check.

River is a 6. I check.

Thoughts?

She looks like ace high to me. I like a bet here. She can put you on a lot of overcards hands that flopped str8 draws (KQ, KJ, QJ) for your flop bet and she will probably call, but she should happily check her ace.

I am over being the nit who always says fold preflop so instead I offer the following story. Mike and I were at Hawaiian Gardens on friday and he was playing in a super loose passive game. We were going to take a break and I walk by his table as he plays his last hand from UTG before taking his big blind. He lets me sweat him and picks up the first card that shows a duece. He waits for the second card and without looking at it spins the both of them face down in the muck and we go outside for some fresh air.

Easy bet. Sounds like your opponent is Jade, and she may or may not call, but she likely doesn't have a better hand.

If you plan on playing in that game much, next time you guys are there (if i'm there), I'll give you the lodown on the regulars (they are ALL regulars).

Justin and I played in the game for a couple hours, it was pretty good for awhile but got awful fast. I noticed it was all regulars as you said, we got in the spirit of chips back on blind steals and showing cards and all that, which maybe was a mistake. This opponent looked like a Jade, so you are probably right on the money [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Jade is really talkative, will blame the dealer, maybe the occasional card-toss, etc. She acts like she thinks she's hot, and is often dressed in a businesslike fashion....

She may sound pretty mean, but is a pretty decent person by cardroom standards...

Re: 25/50 hand
 

are you calling a bet? i wish you would include that with your post. if youre calling a bet then i think bet/folding is much better. im confused on your preflop and both flop plays however, but those are read based so they cant be debated by me.

I think calling a bet against this opponent would be wrong, but this whole hand seems to be pretty read-based.

I am interested in the plan here as well Justin. What are you doing if she bets the turn?

Re: 25/50 hand
 

Most of the regulars were really nice - alot better than most places IMO. At first I thought Jade was a very good player, then I saw she was a big LAG preflop and pretty straightforward, loose chaser postflop.

Is the 25 usually a better game than the 15s? It seemed like it could be pretty hit or miss. Do the bigger games go often (I saw 50/100 on the board but no list was growing or anything).
