Re: 1 – 2 NL (200 max) at Turning Stone Hand #2
Loose passive guy is something of a calling station with any one pair hand, but he plays his draws the same way. My thinking was as follows:
tightish kid is racking up -- he bought in with the 200, he has some profit now, his hand is marginal. I bet enough that it would cut into his original 200.
the loose passive guy will probably call almost any bet with a pair of nines (pushing is an idea ... I'm not sure what he'd do there. probably call with TPTK or better?), and will fold with a busted draw or second pair.
80 accomplishes the same thing if he has a busted draw or lower pair, but loses less when he has a monster hand like A9. Besides, pushing appears a little supsicious to me here after being so passive in the hand up to this point. I'd be much more inclined to do this with the nuts at least once before I do it with air.
