These hands are interesting because I knew the general consensus would be "fold pf" with a few people agreeing the postflop play was right, others not. When I've sat for 20 hands and seen someone raise every hand they've entered with, and not go to showown once, with minimal aggression, that means several things. He's raising too many marginal hands PF, and not getting any value postflop, either by checking down or folding. I'm not giving up A10 against this player, you can do what you want.

He's raised 3 hands out of 20, and you have seen none of them. You have no idea if he is raising marginal hands or if he caught 3 good hands and the board came single suited in one he didn't have. You have no idea and are very very wrong.

In an earlier post today, everyone was agreeing that pocket nines were a good hand to 3bet isolate a tight utg raiser. Now that is a clearly wrong play.

You are wrong here.

These plays are marginal PF, but not clearly bad against the given opponents. They are also the perfect opponents to run semibluffs on, since they don't go to showdown without the goods, and are not aggressive. Learn a thing or two, and take a moment to think about these things, before spouting off what the herd seems to think at the moment.

You are basing your decisions on very small samples. I'm sure I look tight-passive over a 20 hand stretch, but my overall aggression factor is in the high 2s. You are also a condesending ass.

Like I said to Nick C., these reads came from watching the players, not checking their stats (though those supported my reads). If you're unable to get a decent read on a player (granted, such small samples can _sometimes_ be way off, but if you're experienced and a good reader, can be very beneficial) after 20 hands, you need to work on that. As far as condescending asses go, I'm not the one calling names in a post I've contributed nothing to.

If someone thinks plays like these are wrong against the specific type of opponent I think I'm dealing with, please do tell. But posting one line "Fold PF" and "not enough hands!!!" posts, and calling me an ass aren't very helpful to anyone. Perhaps my reads are off, but I think this post is interesting because of these reads.
