Party 15 Happenings
I was sweating a friend in this game today. Here's some of his plays that I had beef with:
Just sat down, pretty much no reads on anyone. Folded to him two off the button and he openraises w/ Q5s. What do you think? Cutoff openraises (loose raising standards) and my friend defends his BB w/ Q9o and they go heads up. Thoughts? One EP limper and my friend limps in MP w/ JTo. Thoughts? EMP openlimps, two seats later raises, next two coldcall, and my friend calls from the BB w/ Q6s. Thoughts? Comments/Analysis appreciated. P.S. My friend does not multitable so he doesn't feel the need to avoid every moderate fluctuation risk.

[/ QUOTE ] Standard blind defense, especially in a game with a relatively low rake. [ QUOTE ] One EP limper and my friend limps in MP w/ JTo. Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] No me gusta. [ QUOTE ] EMP openlimps, two seats later raises, next two coldcall, and my friend calls from the BB w/ Q6s. Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] Fine. Just my opinion. I'm too lazy to provide much in the way of analysis right now.

everything except the last hand are horrible. does he beat the game? [/ QUOTE ] I guess we disagree on the Q9o blind defense. He's getting around 3.5:1* on his preflop call. He's 2:1 against flopping a pair. Most of these opponents can be counted on to overplay their hands consistently enough that he should be able to make money postflop when he does pair up, even considering the risk of domination and redraws. It isn't about avoiding getting run over or maintaining a psychological edge or anything like that; I just think he has a value proposition here, plain and simple. * The fact that the small is posting almost a full blind in this game is relevant in close decisions, though I don't think this one is that close.
