80-160 Hand
Full game with 2 spots
UTG in this hand is loose and kinda passive. BB in this hand is loose and kinda aggressive. The "kind of's" are a result of not playing with them more than once before and also because they seem to not always fall in line and sometimes will suprise you with there passive/aggressiveness. The Hand : UTG limps, folded to me in the Cut-Off and I raise with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]...BB calls, UTG calls. Flop : A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB checks, UTG bets, I RAISE How am I doing so far? What if the Big Blind was Mason Malmuth?

Re: 80-160 Hand
I like the flop raise as it will be interpreted as "not a monster" most of the time. I'd raise AA here too.

Re: 80-160 Hand
As a sidebar, if I was on the button I would have limped with K9s here but in the cut-off my default is to raise in this spot to buy the button. Is this what everyone is doing or am I overdoing it?

Re: 80-160 Hand
I had a long response typed up where I said I'd fold or just call against good UTG's, but then saw that UTG was "loose and passive", in which case I'd just go ahead and raise from either the CO or the button.

Re: 80-160 Hand
Clark I definitely agree with the concept of raising 3 nines here to disguise the "monster"...on a flop of this texture though my raise definitely looks like an ace atleast. I guess there isnt anyway around it though really.

Re: 80-160 Hand
Yea, against a good UTG a fold is probably expert. The only consideration is a weakish player in the BB, but that might not turn it. Are you in general raising to buy the button a lot? Or are the hands you are raising from the cut-off pretty similiar to the hands you are raising from the button?

Re: 80-160 Hand
I just overlimp quite a bit. It enhances the stealing prospects and gives me true isolation raises some more merit. But those are more live game considerations than online I'd guess. The SB's tightness is maybe more of a factor to me than the button when deciding whether to raise or not.

Re: 80-160 Hand
If the SB was more like the BB how would you play it?
