More AQo

I have SB noted as loose passive, with a twist. He raises preflop over 10% of hands, sometimes with good (only 1 out of 3 AA hands) and sometimes with bad (T8o, J4s), but plays passively post-flop. Attack me at will.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $0.50.

Flop: (12 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

looks good.

If he's passive post-flop like you describe, I wouldn't cap the flop.

Why cap and then go passive? If you're going to call down, wouldn't it make more sense to just call the 3-bet?

bisonbison · #5 07-30-2004, 03:09 PM

Yeah, probably.

I agree.

Thanks, and I agree with the comment on the cap. I think this is where my biggest leak with AQo and AJo occurs, pushing it one or two bets too far when my opponent is slapping me in the face with his better hand. Call that 3-bet, and call down I shall.

In the end, the villain turned over pocket kings, and HHIG.
