A hand against Tommy. AKA "Am I a wuss?"

[Chris Daddy Cool]

holy [censored] i wish i could put the fear of God in people's hearts by simply check-calling.

"Folded to Tommy Angelo who cold-calls in the BB."

Had to read that three times to make sure I read it right. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

"WTF is Tommy cold-calling out of the big blind and calling down with?"

A case of Two Plus Two equalling five.

You're not worried about getting raised. You're worried about your hand being good when Tommy calls you.

I'm happy this got posted because playing against Tommy seems pretty easy when you know his cards but totally opaque otherwise.

[haakee]

Exactly. I'm pretty much never getting raised here. Tommy is calling for the overcall in the case that he's ahead.

with the third person in there, I think I'd fire once again. As someone pointed out (based on Tommy's posts recently), Tommy's probably smooth calling if he has you beat or if he is beaten. Your probable investment is one big bet.
how aggro is the other guy? is he one of those paranoid aggro guys? the ones who keep firing with A high, then assume that everyone else is firing with a-high? If he's one of those, you can be sure that he's calling the river. fire away.
if he's one of those guys who'll call till the river but muck if he misses, then you gotta think a little, but I still think that you should bet because he still acts as a buffer for you.

i play against tight passive players every day, and while i would rather play against loose passives, tight passives are very profitable to play against. maybe taking passive lines against certain players are correct, but against players who know that you are a passive calling station, its terrible.

i think you're ahead

and that its not even close

You have officially taken your seat; found your rank.

[J.A.Sucker]

You are a wuss. Bet.

[andyfox]

I think it is close. It may even be a tie.
