Blind Battle with K9o

einbert · #1 03-23-2005, 10:32 AM

A little background info, the 10/20 6max is notorious for extremely high aggression levels. Hardly any loosepassives here, most are TAG or LAG.

Villian was 33/10/2 and quite aggressive from what I'd seen.

I like it.

You could be against JT QT KT AT T9

As much as I hate it. Calling down against Aggr is about the only thing to do when it is iffy. Do their bets mean anything?

I don't play at that level, but I like how you played it.

I like the way you played it. I suck at blind battles but I can't see anything wrong with this. Sometimes he will have a Ten, sometimes he will have a 9, sometimes he will have nothing, sometimes he will have hit 2 pair or a set. The call is whether you beat him often enough without improving to call down the turn and river. I think you do.

I'd play it the same.
2PGK is a very good hand heads up.
After flop action and he betting turn
you're probably beat but has to call down.
