Seat 1 is a solid, thinking player.
Seat 2 is me. Seat 3 is a rock. Seats 4&5 are both passive & weak. Two out of the last three rounds, Seat 1 has open-raised from the HJ and won vs the blinds without a showdown. Round 4. Seat 1 is in the HJ again. He open-raises. I have T4o. What should I do? |

Seat 1 is a solid, thinking player. [/ QUOTE ] You answered your own question (even though you were pretty unclear about your position). Muck this trash even if you put him on a steal...his hand is likely much better than yours. That and the fact that he plays well is a pretty strong reason to fold. Actually, I don't believe I ever would call here unless it's one chip in 2-3 structure. Is this a serious question? Jeff |

Why would you want to mix it up with a solid player with garbage cards? I don't care if you have position or not. I'm mucking the 10-8 in two seconds flat also. 10-4 is a no brainer muck and it's not close.

But at what point do you stop letting him have the button every time he's in the HJ? After his 4th consecutive open-raise from the HJ? 5th? 6th? Am I just playing mind games with myself?

He's taking other people's money... it's not like he's stealing your blinds... and it's not like you'd try stealing if it was folded to you with T4o... so I'm not sure why you're feeling such pressure to show this guy what's up.
Sounds like you're frustrated and card dead. Either stop being the former and wait for the latter to change, leave the table and find another, or just take a moment off and get a coffee. Or a beer. Or a blow job. Whatever you're feeling. |
