hand reading exercise #3 (5max)

[eviljeff]

I figured this would do more good in micro than HUSH. they ignore my posts there anyway. you are free to do the same.

hero is TAG, but keep in mind this is shorthanded so plays more hands and is more aggressive

MP is LAG - plays almost all hands for one bet, cold calls maybe half the time, autobets when checked to, will call down with weak hands like third pair, when he raises he usually has a piece

Preflop: eviljeff is UTG
<font color="#CC3333">eviljeff raises</font>, MP calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.

since SH raising standards might not be what you're used to (especially mine), I'll just tell you hero's range here: 77-AA, A7+, any suited A, any two higher than 9

1) MP isn't tricky, so what hands can you rule out for him given that he didn't 3bet?

BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">eviljeff bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">eviljeff 3-bets</font>, MP calls.

2) what range of hands do I bet here? is it any different from my pfr range?
3) when MP pops me he's probably got something - what is a reasonable range for him now?
4) what do I 3bet here? do I have a made hand, a draw, or am I bluffing?


Turn: (5.25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">eviljeff bets</font>, MP calls.

5) given that MP doesn't pop me here, what can you rule out of your previous range for him?

River: (7.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">eviljeff bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">eviljeff 3-bets</font>, MP calls.

6) MP raises here - he must have improved. what exactly is his hand?
7) I know what MP has and I still 3-bet. I have one of 4 hands. what are they?
