The Peter_rus Test (Low Content)
 

Do not know what the PR TEST is? Well, that is hardly surprising as I just thought it up. Those familiar with his posts from yesteryear can probably figure it out - but essentially the question is "Are you getting enough value playing trash from the blinds?"


TABLE: UTG and MP are both very loose (in the range 50-60 V$IP) and typically passive, as is the SB. They are really quite clueless and will bet draws into the PFR etc. donk when they improve etc. CO and Button are average for the limit (30-40 V$IP) and show moderate aggression. The table seems to be enjoying itself and there has been an above average level of semi-bluff and FPS trickery.

How do I know how I scored? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

We rank the actions in order of Peter_rus and you get to take home the pies...

I am also quite shocked that no-one has been honest enought to pick the last option... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I picked check/call 1 bet and fold for two. I assume most of the "other" picks are bet/call or variations on bet/call.

Re: The Peter_rus Test (Low Content)
 

I went with the same. Dont think we are ahead often enough that we want to bet here against passive players.

Re: The Peter_rus Test (Low Content)
 

Small pot, flush on the board, an 8 makes someone else a better straight. I check fold.

No flush I'd probably bet. Make the T a J and I definitely bet figuring good odds of picking up the pot right there.

Re: The Peter_rus Test (Low Content)
 

id bet this. these players arent going to raise their pair hands after theyve just called the flop and if you check they will bet their pairs for you. betting allows you to protect your hand when you happen to be ahead and may clear up flush draw outs. whether i call or fold once raised depends on which player it is and my read on them if i have one, but i certainly lean towards calling if its heads up because my flush outs will be good very often along with my straight outs.

Re: The Peter_rus Test (Low Content)
 

I'm checking and calling one/folding two. That's how passive I am.

PM me naphand. I can't PM you because you're over quota. I've got something I'd like to ask you.

Guy.

IMO this response is the likely Peter_rus line.

I doubt PR in his glory days would take the easier line of check-calling here, although this is totally understandable for the reasons people give.
