Influx of Tight/Decent at 10/20

ALL1N · #1 03-13-2005, 11:40 PM

I've noticed over the past few weeks that theres been a surge of tight players into the Party 10/20 game. A lot are quite competent, probably small winners, with stats like 15/8. Most likely moving up from ring games.

Anyway, the button in this hand is such a player.

No commment on the hand particularly but I took a shot at the 10/20 over the last couple of weeks about 4k hands and found a few of these players there, they were agr but quickly dropped or let go with hands I think better players would have pushed. However mainly the game was full of loose/passive players who had bouts of insane agr postflop. I did however encounter the player of heard about so much the thinking LAG with very good hand reading and postflop ability. I table hopped like a bunny though so I doubt I played more than 5-10 hands with any reasonable players.

Everyone that I play against is terrible. I'm not kidding either. Everyone plays too loose. Most are either way too passive or way too agressive postflop.

anyone with 15/8 stats in the 10/20 6max cannot be labeled as "quite competent"

Subjective. Anyone wanna comment on the hand?

I would bet flop. On turn you got 3rd pair and a 15/8 raises. Why not fold? A 15/8 is normally not the guy that will raise turn as a semibluff thinking u dont have what you represent (I like his raise). I guess you want him to fold a pair of Ts, but what will he coldcall with preflop if he is only coming in with 15%?

Im not sure a 15/8 guy will fold a better hand then yours or be on a bluff often enough to make 3bet good, but I could be wrong.

By the way, I like the 15/8 guys. They are not seeing enough flops to be a problem. The 35/20 are much worse, them u have to have a read on.

I second that. No stats scare me off as much as those close to 35/20.

Please fill my tables with 15/8's. Unfortunately I haven't noticed them

I bet the flop.

I like your turn 3bet, he probably folded AT, KTs or such [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
