QQ - Party 15/30

[QTip]

How can I give ranges without reads?

Didn't you see he had JJ? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

[QTip]

I've not seen anyone talk about counterfeiting a hand here.

If UTG+2 has something like T4, we still have 8 outs.

I can't find a fold here, but I don't like a 3 bet.

It was mentioned somewhere.

The only 2 pairs hand a reasonable player has here is T9s.

And there are only 2 combos of that hand. (again, a read helps this as well)

I'm not posting this to kill Will personally--I think he's a valuable contributor to the forum, but I think this post demonstrates a huge problem with many posts on twoplustwo, and I'd imagine a huge problem with many posters' games--you guys don't pay enough attention to your opponents.

This hand looks like a decent time to fold in a vacuum:

But, imagine that Will had taken anecdotal notes about things his opponent had done in the past. Then he might have a note that said this:

coldcalling fucktard--9ts to the cap
checkraised flopped nut flush into pf3-bettor on flop and turn
has raised absolute trash UTG and then checkraised the flop rando ep turn bet out bluff
{{VPIP: 32 - PFR: 11 - HANDS: 576

If Will had been watching the table, he might have seen this hand:

Maybe having a sense that the guy who checkraised him was bizzare would have made Will's decision easier. It certainly would have made it easier for other posters to comment on the hand.
