Blind steal attempt. SB vs. BB.

Entity · #1 07-13-2005, 06:03 PM

BB is tight and overaggressive, but has been folding a lot recently. Could just be card dead. I think my steal attempt may be ill-advised against this sort of player OOP, however, I had a fairly good image going into this hand. Obviously my image sucks now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I can't think of anything reasonable you beat on the river when he raises. Fold?

Overaggressive...he may raise JT or bluff enough for calling to be profitable?

He's certainly capable of bluffing and bluff-raising. He's aggressive to a fault.

I think the only questionable decision is the river call and I'd usually make it.

Then I think you played it about the only way you could.

I am no good in these situations [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Are you checking when you pair your 8 because you think villain has a J or 9? Also are you betting the river now since you have over taken previous possible holdings?

I porbably would have raised the turn but dont listen to me in heads up situations [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

based on the nature of the read and the nature of blind battles, i think it should be a very easy call of the river raise.

I agree, but i definitely do not like the preflop raise even if the player was tight.

Seems fine. I don't agree that preflop is "ill-advised against this sort of player OOP". When you raise here with 78o, you are mainly hoping to take the blinds without a fight. Since he is tight, he is a reasonable target. The guys who are loose, aggressive and tricky are the ones you want to avoid.
