He's a tight player and I assume he knows I am solid, so he's not calling that much with his crappy transparent draw. A6s? Not a chance, I raised his $5 bet to $20.. he isn't calling with A6. He should be putting me on a set here, that's how I'd be playing one. [ QUOTE ] I'd call turn and see what happens on the river. If he makes it half pot or less on the river I'd consider raising.

I like your style. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks. I call down here because he could have the smaller straight or something like 88 possibly TT, depends how much respect villain has for you I guess.. |

Re: 98s.
Yes, with a VPIP of 15 over 950 hands, he is limping UTG+1 with 84 and 43. I suppose it's possible he leads with 88 and TT after my raise, suspecting I am drawing, if so.. good bet.

Re: 98s.
It sounds like you've decided he can't have anything but a boat so why post the hand? You're drawing dead to a boat so its a clear fold even if he bets the minimum. I think you see 44 and 88 enough of the time to at least try to get to showdown (barring an 8, 4, or 6 river of course).

A somewhat small overpair is somewhat possible. 88, maybe, but doubtful IMO. 44, almost no chance at all. I posted the hand because I figured I'd get good responses that'd help me put him on a hand.. not nearly impossible gapped connectors from EP on a player with a VPIP in the 10s. [ QUOTE ] Betting 2/5 pot I consider weak, until proven otherwise (ie raise). [/ QUOTE ] I don't think the amount of the bet is nearly as important as the action that precedes it. He just lead into me again, OOP, after I reraised him big on the flop. Usually a weak lead here, which I don't consider $20 into $49 pot, is a draw. [ QUOTE ] One thing I've noticed between this and your 97s post is that you're putting alot of faith in your opponents reads on you. [/ QUOTE ] I also don't see this.

Recognizing my opponent as a decent and thinking player is as far as that stuff goes for me. Him recognizing me as the same comes with that territory. [ QUOTE ] People want to make hands on rivers and see showdowns. [/ QUOTE ] I concur, but when I have 950 hands on a person that show he is a very tight player, I disregard the default read on players at $200 NL. [ QUOTE ] Don't fold for 2/5 bet on the turn.

Re: 98s.
I think with this player, you shouldn't raise. I can see him limping in EP with 88-TT (possibly JJ). His turn bet is either a boat or a probe with his overpair. If you raise, he'll fold his overpair and repop with a boat. If he's sort of competent, he might start thinking his hand is still good on the river, and may throw out a blocker. I still you can't raise the river though. I would call and call about a 1/2 pot bet on the river.

I don't think he would, though. If he put me on a draw with an 8, I missed, so he'd just check and let me bluff.. assuming he thinks on this level, which is probably a stretch. Anyway, he can't expect me to have anything but a set myself, possibly 2 pair (on flop) or the straight. |
