Am i playing hands like this correctly? I am trying to find leaks and often these hands feel wrong. Villain is a TAG. 22/11ish.

Both seem fairly standard. Possibly 3-bet in hand #1, but I am not sure if this is actually a good move.

EvanJC · #3 10-01-2005, 05:28 PM

they both look perfect to me

Against a 68/25 in hand 2 I would very likely cap the flop and lead the turn, calling down in the face of further aggression.

Hand 1 is perfect.

Why is this? Those numbers only reveal information for preflop, and given the numbers, Villain is MORE likely to have some crazy 2-pair or set than normal. What about this opponent makes you think he is 3-betting a check raise with less than TPGK?

TTChamp · #6 10-02-2005, 01:51 AM

If this guy is capable of raising one fourth of all hands pf, then it seems likely that he is capable of raising this flop w a flush draw, a str8 draw, middle pair, top pair weak kicker, or even overs or a hand like 99 or tt. Wouldn't it suck if you gave him a free turn...your hand is extremely vulnerable. By capping the flop and leading the turn you punish him for his aggression.

I am not advocating that cap/lead is a good play everytime here, just trying to justify it against a LAG.

I don't know why you'd bet into the pfr on the flop in hand 1. You just give him a chance to dump KQo cheaply.

In hand 1 I think you should bet-fold the river if you're going to call because that flush card protects your from a raise and he might have raised for a free showdown on the turn.

Hand 2 is good. I might give a little more action, but I don't assume Villain is a maniac.

I like checking the flop in hand #1. Let the other guy come along too, and the TAG is betting that flop almost 100% of the time.
