Interesting deep stack live hand ...........(i think)
villian in this hand is a decent player who always buys in really deep and plays very straightfoward poker. he isn't particularly tricky, and while i have seen him make moves i don't think he is much of a "player". he is the type of guy who buys in for 7K and gets visably upset about losing $120.
he also thinks he is much better then he really is (but who doesn't?) ok so on to the hand. i have ~2.4K, villian has ~6.5K. i limp in LP w/33 after one EP limper (who only has ~140), the CO limps and the villian raises to $65 on the button. we all call. four to the flop of K22 rainbow. flop is checked around. turn comes 3, still rainbow. shortstacked EP goes all in for $65. i raise to $265, CO folds, Villian re-raises to $565. whats your plan for the rest of the hand? thoughts and results to follow. |

Does he often check a monster on the flop? Would he check AA here? QQ? AK? Is his button raise light?

[/ QUOTE ] he doesn't really raise that often preflop, and i haven't seen him get to creative in the past post-flop. in other words i don't have too solid a line on his postflop play and not many of his hands get to showdown. however i have seen a number of failed semi-bluffs on his part in the last couple of sessions, mostly because he refuses to fire more then one barrel at the pot. also $55 raises are not very big in this game. |

[/ QUOTE ] There's one reason to call the turn and make a decision after checking the river. Another important question is whether or not you can double through him if he has AK or AA. |

Re: Interesting deep stack live hand ...........(i think)
Would I call down? Not sure really. I don't think it will get to that, but if it does, it depends on how I view my opponent.
Obviously(?), this play whiffs of KK. Only you can know if he's capable of playing it this way. What's interesting is he's raised 3 limpers to a standard amount. You describe him as tight so it seems unlikely he has a deuce in his hand. I'd call down if it's a reasonable price. If he's as ABC as you say I'd say theres no way he's pushing with KK on the river here, he seems more likely to make a smaller bet. |

Re: Interesting deep stack live hand ...........(i think)
Nice.
If villian isn't a player, then his preflop raise isn't a speculative hand or a low pocket pair, right? That means it's a big pair or big overcards. Him checking the flop is pretty revealing, I think, the only hands that fit in those categories that he checks the flop with are KK (he's probably trying to find a way to get the money in and froze up) or a lower big PP like QQ - TT (because he is straight forward and afraid of the K). I don't think he checks this flop with AK or AA. He also wouldn't raise you on the turn with QQ - TT just to see if you have anything since it's a protected pot due to the short stack going all in, so basically I don't think he is making a move here and I'm actually kind of worried. Am I totally off? That being said, I call his bet, and probably check/call a reasonably sized bet on the river. If he has the nuts he is not going to put in a huge river bet. |
