JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Reads: Villian tries to be tricky and trappy somewhat. He bluffs scare cards quite a bit with air. He's also overbet the nuts a few times and gotten calls. He seem's OK, but is unpredictable. He's pretty passive preflop but can get aggressive postflop. This session I've raised his preflop limp to $13 at least 12 times. About half those times he called me preflop and c/f'd to my continuation bets. This is the first time he's played back at me. (I've also done this quite a bit with other players at the table, as they all have been real passive preflop).
$1/$3 NLHE 5-handed (Yes, this is online, my small site has some weird limits between NL100 and NL1000). Hero ($350) Villian ($420) Preflop: Hero is MP with J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1. Villian calls $3, Hero raises to $13, 3 folds, Villian calls $10. Flop: ($28.50) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font> Villian checks, Hero bets $20, Villian raises to $40, Hero?? I had settled in to betting $20 the last few times I raised to $13 and got one caller, whether I had the goods or not, so this is what they've been seeing for the last 20 minutes out of me in this situation, a $20 bet. What should Hero do, and what's his plan for the rest of the hand? |
Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Against a player like this I call. There's a really good chance he'll try to represent your actual hand if a diamond hits.

Call, use position.

Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Given stack sizes.. I think calling is really the only way to go.
Any big raise you make here puts you in an ugly spot. Call down until you improve... debate calling river unimproved. |
Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Certainly fold the river unimproved. He hasn't folded the last 12 times just so he can bluff on the 13th.

Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Many of these villians will continue with weak ass bets on the later streets. In this case, I think the information/chance that he's donking it up, may be worth it.
If he is in the other camp and bets pot or near pot on turn and river, fold. |
Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Call, let your position operate. A miniraise here is just too unlikely for a bluff.

Re: JTs faces flop min-check/raise
Btw I like my chops and start counting the money he is going to give when when he puts me in this spot.
